But currently, one aim of Openads is to increase database portability by using the Pear MDB2 package. The Openads developers have even been providing bug fixes and code additions to the package. For more information, see: http://oss.backendmedia.com/index.php?area=MDB2 Currently, only MySQL is fully supported within Openads 2.3, but obviously by porting to this package in 2.3 we now have the ability to expand support There have been users known to customize Openads to work with Oracle in the past.

Both provide Express version for dev/personal use and also have trial versions of the full products for download. We are currently evaluating adserving software and one of the guys have come across OpenAds. On paper sounds good but first concern is the platform it is written on. Currently we don't run PHP or MySQL. In all fairness for this purpose there would be no problems introducing PHP into our hosting infrastructure however MySQL is another story. Unless the database is completely "blackboxed" we would rather have the option to install onto MS SQL Server or ideally Oracle. Hope our views help. Cheers Hi,
