    Hi,
    PostgreSQL is a important database, but WordPress can’t support it now. I hope WordPress will support PostgreSQL. Not only PostgreSQL,but also others databases are not support directly. You must write configs or install plugins then WordPress will works. So why not support them directly?
    Thanks,
    ykla

    Support for multiple DB server applications would require a new constant in wp-config.php, and code to select a DBAL based on the value of that constant. That’s easy.

    What’s not easy is adding a query builder function to each DBAL, and editing all internal WP queries to use the function.

    What’s impossible is editing the almost-100,000 themes and plugins in the wordpress.org repository to use a query builder function. And that doesn’t include the tens of thousands of plugins/themes available outside of wordpress.org, such as at Envato (Themeforest and Codecanyon).

    And none of the above addresses the possibility of WordPress and its plugins/themes using MySQL-specific features, such as GROUP_CONCAT, that are at best extremely difficult to replicate in other DB server applications.

    Having said this, I do hope that WordPress will some day add support for transactions.
