Whats involved in adding DB2 support to jforum 2.1.7?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi !

I've downloaded jforum 2.1.7 and I've been poking around. I know that it currently does not support DB2 as a backend but I thought I could make some software changes myself to do this.

Might anyone being able to point me to information that could help me do this? (and/or have a sense of how difficult/easy/fast/slow it might be)

Thanks, Judy

Most generic queries (net.jforum.dao.generic) should work. You will need to provide specialized versions for any query that has a db2 only sintax (like pagination).
Take a look in the implementations for other databases (in the dao package) to have an idea.

Also, the sql queries and other db configurations are in WEB-INF/config/database
