Hi Jon, In the initial release of the InterMapper database (5.0), only Postgres SQL is supported. However, we will be adding support for additional SQL database engines in future releases. I believe MySQL is on this list.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm running Debian. The ReadMe files on the website did not refer to SQL at all, so was not sure how the transition was done. I had planned on using our existing SQL server, which runs MySQL. If Postgresql is needed, then I won't even bother with the upgrade (even if psql is auto installed). I'm sure during beta testing Dartware went through the whole war of MySQL vs Postgresql, but I had thought it would support both. Can/Is MySQL supported? in a future release?
