Good idea. > Is this something for which a best practice has already been > established? I think common sense should be enough ;) There is just no point in using MySQL-only idioms when with little or no effort the code can run onPostgreSQL as well. So it is not understandable why someone would write insert into `atable` (a) values (42) which chokes on PostgreSQL (and maybe isn't even proper SQL), when insert into atable (a) values (42) runs on both MySQL and PostgreSQL. There is already some minimal PostgreSQL support in Koha and I am actively working on a branch that should bring full PostgreSQL support eventually. It would help these efforts (and I am sure I am not the only one wanting to run on PostgreSQL) if MySQLisms would be kept at a minimum. - mb _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
