XML database schema > XMLDB preliminary links
This page includes all the links that were found googling the Internet, searching for info, examples, paths and solutions to the whole project of increasing the supported databases working together with Moodle 1.7 and upwards.
The list below isn't ordered, nor well classified, some of the links could be inaccurate, inexact or trivial, but they have been part of the preliminary work, so they will remain here. Thanks to all of them!
