 * 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](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.
