<DIV><SPAN class=913110817-16122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have completed a
port of RT to run on the Ingres database - all appears to be going well and I
would like to submit an integration plan to the list for approval and submission
into the main code line to make Ingres a supported database.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913110817-16122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have done the port
as we have a customer (via an ISV) that required the RT to be supported on
Ingres before they would go ahead with using Ingres as a database for a new
project - like a qualifier stage.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913110817-16122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wit the changes made
to various files including the creation of a new SerachBuilder/Handle/Ingres.pm
driver I would now like to make this available to the Perl and RT
community. There are also changes to be made to the DBD::Ingres driver for
Perl with the addition of the last_insert_id() function.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=913110817-16122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I am new to both
RT and Perl and Open Source committing I would like to engage with a mentor
to get all of these changes completed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

involved with software development for over twenty years, primarily in
'C' with a heavy involvement in relational database application an in
the support (ten years and counting) of the Ingres
database. </FONT> </SPAN></DIV>
