PostgreSQL as RDBM?

Post by oidarnam »

This is just a general question, but would HuMo-gen work with PostgreSQL with a minimal amount of tweaking, or is it strongly MySQL based? Thanks.

I don't know, I only know how to use MySQL.

Unlikely - there are likely to by variations in the sql language - some subtle, some not so, that would cause errors (some would result in the call to the db failing, others may just mean tat a different result occurs in the db - different values returned or operations on the data).
To be able to use different databases, really need to build a layer between the application and the database that converts 'application' calls into the appropriate database call for teh selected database.
