This is great news and yes, a Sybase adaptor will certainly be useful.

  However, sorry, I've never used any sybase db server aither, so I've
  no experience to offer.  But we can definitely work together to make
  it happen, esp. regarding testing and integrating it into the
  framework.

Integrating a new layer in the framework means that we should be able to
integrate it into the testing units, so we should also be able to deploy
a dedicated db-server on the testing machines.  With respect to these
requirements, could you confirm that the testing components are the
following?

  - Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.5.2
    (http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1030941)

  - Sybase module for Python (python DB API v2.0 compliant)
    (http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/)

  (I picked up these after a quick google search, nothing more!)

I can only test linux-based configurations; if you plan to use different
components and/or different OSes, could you let us know?

  Looking forward to download the first draft of a Sybase adaptor ;),


-- Sébastien.
