Gallery v.1.x doesn't use a database to store data... it uses flat files.

Gallery 2 (still in pre-alpha development) will interface to various back-ends. Support has been written for MySQL and PostgreSQL. We don't have an Oracle test setup, so if an Oracle interface gets written, it will either be by someone who has an Oracle server somewhere, or maybe by us if someone gives us access to one.

Gallery 1.x can be modified to use other databases, but it's a lot of work.
I managed to have Gallery use a MS-SQL database on a Windows 2000 (or 2003, beats me) Server. This way I could use the user database (about 1500 users) from an ASP-based Intranet.
