Hi all,



Should we formally give up on trying to provide PostgreSQL support?



I find it highly unlikely that we will ever provide it.



We may as well close issues like the following:

Over the last year or so, the Keycloak community has undergone a lot of
conversations on database support.



Historically, it's provided support for MariaDB, MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL, and more.



However, going forward, Keycloak plans to only provide first class support
for PostgreSQL and CockroachDB databases. CockroachDB uses the same wire
protocol as PostgreSQL, so really they're supporting 1 database type. You
can read more about it all at the following links:

https://www.keycloak.org/2022/02/dbs.html

https://www.keycloak.org/2022/07/storage-map.html



Personally, I really like PostgreSQL. I use it for a number of other
projects. But I think we're pretty wedded to MySQL/MariaDB with Koha, and
maybe we just need to own that?
