Dear friends, Just a quick note that I added some information in the manual: Developing Drupal using PostgreSQL: http://drupal.org/node/338676
Especially, "Guidelines for writing MySQL and PostgreSQL compliant SQL": http://drupal.org/node/555514 This page lists major differences between MySQL and PostgreSQL syntax. Some issues can be fixed in D7 (some may already as I did not follow development). I saw compatibility functions around. Some automatic casts may be added also in D7 PostgreSQL schema. If this was done, please inform me and I will update the pages or update them yourself. Some need fixing in PostgreSQL. All issues require attention from developers. Would it be possible to review http://drupal.org/node/555514 to make sure anyone agrees on the standard SQL to use for both MySQL and PostgreSQL. When it is done, I will contact PostgreSQL hackers to ask for modifications in PostgreSQL core. Some modifications seem to be in the scope of possibility. Besides, as stated before, I think we would gain to flag minimal PostgreSQL version to 8.4 to benefit from PostgreSQL 8.4 new versions and from a better compatibility with Drupal. PostgreSQL new stable release is PostgreSQL 8.4, even if Debian flags it as unstable. I could upgrade some 500.000 pages sites to PostgreSQL 8.4 without running into a single problem. SO IMHO let us not stick to an old PG version. This is a minor issue, please focus on http://drupal.org/node/555514 Kind regards, Jean-Michel
