Scarab uses a database acess layer based on Torque. So it should be able to run on any of the databases supported by Torque. We don't have the resources to perform full testing with all RDBM-systems and we need help from the community to verify it works fine.

The table above lists all databases, known to have worked with Scarab-releases from our users' experience. Databases marked as "Fully supported" are verified to work with the current release and the integration documentation has been verified. Databases marked as "Partial support" have been tested with the current release, but either the integration is complex, or not well documented. Help from the comunity is needed. Databases marked as "Not supported" have not been tested with the current release. Help from the comunity is needed.

If you need any help, ask for it in the mailing lists. We will try to get it working!
