We are looking at offloading our Nagios DB to a MS SQL server.
Everything I see referrs to MySQL.
I haven't found anything that specifically states that MySQL must be used but before we attempt this, I want to be sure.

I know there are tools to convert between the two, and there are PHP libraries like PDO that are db-agnostic, but I don't believe we actually support this at the moment.

Per the offloading document: 2 – Adjust Settings on Nagios Server - I see the following field in the nd02db.cfg file:
If I were to change this to 'mssql' would it know how to handle that change?

This hasn't been tested and won't be supported. I would highly suggest not doing it. If you want to play with it - set up a test server, but again, even if it worked, it wouldn't be supported.

Are there any plans to support more enterprise level platforms like Oracle and MSSQL with Nagios?
