[Geoserver-devel] Which jdbc-ng databases should we add?

Hi,
I'm wondering, what jdbc-ng databases should we add to the
release (as alternatives to the old ones, not as a replacement).

I was thinking Oracle, DB2. And then SQL Server.
What about MySql? Not sure, is it using spatial indexes at all?
(SQL Server does not but it does not have the competition of
an older and possibly better working version).

What do you think?
Cheers
Andrea

Yeah, i would agree. Lets hold off on mysql until it has support for spatial index... which should not be too hard to add.
