I am building a guild website on a server that uses Postgresql not MySQL. phpBB2 comes with Postgresql support. I have hacked phpRaider to use Postgresql, and that took about a day to get 90% of the functionality present, including shared logins with phpBB2. Has anyone done this, however informally? I saw nothing when I searched the forums, and the wiki just says MySQL is supported.
How difficult will it be to get Roster to do the right thing? The lion's share of phpRaider modifications were redoing the database schema, removing all the backticks, and replacing mysql commands with pg equivalents -- mysql_connect/mysql_select_db to pg_connect, mysql_query to pg_query, mysql_error to pg_last_error, mysql_close to pg_close, you get the idea. If all the database code is in one file then it'll be a lot easier. If there's like eighty database calls in twenty files, that'll be a bit harder.
Thanks for any information or support you can provide!
