Hi,

is there a reason why PostgreSQL is not supported, other than that the 
developers mainly use MySQL?  Today I tried installing SMW 0.5 on 
PostgreSQL 8.1.5 (with MediaWiki 1.8.2), and basically all it takes is a 
couple of different SQL commands in smw_storage.php.  It was a twenty 
minute fix for me.  Since no other scripts use data definition language, 
it should do the job as far as I can see.  It would be trivial to 
integrate this into the release version, all it takes would be a check 
which database we are using.

In the future, it would also require some changes in the SMWAdmin code, 
but since nobody is running old SMW versions on Postgres that could wait 
until the release after the next.

Philipp
