WordPress and PostgreSQL?

  • Hi,

    Are there any plans on supporting PostgreSQL as a database engine for WordPress? Or any other DB than MySQL?

    Hello

    I made a hack a year ago that I burried out some days ago.

    If you wish to try it, I’d love to get feedback about it.
    You can download it from https://www.hawkix.net.

    It works out of the box to install a basic WordPress Blog on a PostgreSQL database, my blog works with it.

    My blog is written in French only for now, I’ll set up an multi-lingual version soon.

    If you try it, just be warned that :
    – when I made it, the plugin was a quick and dirty hack intended just to be able to install WordPress on a PostgreSQL-only development computer
    – I don’t think it is “production-quality” yet, but I hope to make it so
    – it works with a basic WordPress install, I don’t know if any plugin would work OK with it

    My idea is to make it possible to have a maintainable alternative to MySQL for WordPress, and PostgreSQL is just the first one.

    My plugin is almost stable by now, and I use it on my blog every day.

    Version 1.0.0 is almost ready and will be released soon, including a bunch of code reorganisation.
