As may this. Your message did not say anything about whether or not koha currently supports PostgreSQL. It referred to a decision to support them. I inferred that this was a decision to support them in the future. From archives, I thought that was always the plan, so I was surprised to hear this talk of such a decision being in the future.
Well, I think we've always wanted to support PostgreSQL (though we occassionaly cast our eyes on cool MySQLisms that promise efficiency gains.) I guess my take is that: we don't currently 'support' PostgreSQL, we'd like to, we need one or more developers to step up if we're to get there. That's why I talked about deciding to support PostgreSQL in the future.
That was all.
Gut reaction is: A phrasebook may have value, but is there really that much going on that requires many database-specific commands?
There certainly are areas where it would help enormously (i.e. the DB creation/alteration bits in the install/upgrade scripts). There are other places where it might be useful (i.e., taking advantage of *SQLisms that we feel are worth using). I hope that it would also make tuning/testing easier. All told, I'm not sure it's the right way to go, but I think it's worth discussing. -pate
