AaronG Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've been looking for any sort of postgres support, and I see several forum posts mentioning a community project, but links to that seem to be 404s. Was this removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 As an aside, the client who was developing the driver recently emailed me and told me he is no longer maintaining it, even for himself. He has found that a properly configured MySQL setup can perform just as well, so it's not worth the effort to keep updating his driver through our releases unnecessarily.

AaronG Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Okay. I'm trying to get IPB to auth against an existing system that uses a postgres table for auth. This isn't something I can change. My hope was to take what was written for the pgsql driver and use that as a basis for talking to our server (I'm fine with using Mysql for the rest of the forum storage). Does this sound like something that's reasonably doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's doable of course, but without the driver available you're probably just as well off using pgsql_* functions directly in your custom code (or using another library - PDO or Zend DB maybe).
