What features are available?

Mortíforo includes the following features:

PostgreSQL and Oracle database support
Modular database implementation by using the IBatis SqlMaps Object-Relation Data Mapper. This means you are able to add compatibility to any DBMS with JDBC support only by porting the queries, which are stored in a separate XML file
