   Hi,

   Are there any plans on supporting PostgreSQL as a database engine for WordPress? Or any other DB than MySQL?

   Hello

   I made a hack a year ago that I burried out some days ago.

   If you wish to try it, I'd love to get feedback about it.
   You can download it from http://www.hawkix.net.

   It works out of the box to install a basic WordPress Blog on a PostgreSQL database, my blog works with it.

   My blog is written in French only for now, I'll set up an multi-lingual version soon.

   If you try it, just be warned that :
   - when I made it, the plugin was a quick and dirty hack intended just to be able to install WordPress on a PostgreSQL-only development computer
   - I don't think it is "production-quality" yet, but I hope to make it so
   - it works with a basic WordPress install, I don't know if any plugin would work OK with it

   My idea is to make it possible to have a maintainable alternative to MySQL for WordPress, and PostgreSQL is just the first one.

   My plugin is almost stable by now, and I use it on my blog every day.

   Version 1.0.0 is almost ready and will be released soon, including a bunch of code reorganisation.
