PostgreSQL

[MiksIr]

Can the board (blog, gallery also) work with PostgreSQL? May be any additional db drivers needed?

[Working4computers]

According to the purchase page, IP.Board is only supported by three drivers.

mySQL Database Driver

Oracle Driver

MS-SQL Driver

The Oracle and MSSQL database drivers are at a cost of $60

Yes, I know this. Can anybody give me any suggestions about work with PostgerSQL? Change connection strings - it's not problem. I speak about various syntax of SQL in MySQL and PostgreSQL, which can be used in IPB's MySQL driver.

You are best to open a support ticket. Why not just use MYSQL? All hosts have at least 1 database available for someone to use. Why make it complicated, is there something you are trying to do with it specially?

This should be quite easy to accomplish if you are familier with PHP and Postgres - just modify the IPB Database driver and mysql cached queries file to make a new postgres database driver. when completed, please share!

I wrote a working PostgreSQL driver for IPB 2.1 last year. I keep meaning to upgrade it to work with 2.2... I really should do. >_<
