I understand that Midgard does not support anything but mysql as its primary
depository and no such support is planned for 1.x branch. Since Midgard 2.0
is not coming out any time soon and there is interest to add Oracle support,
it might be useful to consider an abstraction layer in 1.x for adding other
databases as well. We are using postgresql as our main database because of
support for transactions and that its 7.0 version is substantially improved
both in performance and stability. What would it take to add support for
postgres:
1. Port calls from mysql lib to support libpg? Are these calls isolated in a
single module or scattered throughout the code?
2. Rewrite SQL statements?
3. Anything else?
Is there anything particularly difficult in adding such support? Any
mysql-isms which are hard or impossible to replicate with other databases?
