[Mediawiki-l] PostgreSQL port

[Andreas 'ads' Scherbaum]

Hello all,

today i have downloaded the current beta version and have seen that
somebody already started a PostgreSQL port. Yes, i know, this one is
outdated, but is there a plan to support other databases in the feature?

According to the statements of some people in #mediawiki, it would make
sense to integrate something like a layer with virtual functions:

$dbr->getArticleText();

The function would do the job, retrieve the article in question from the
database and return it to MW. This also would allow slightly different
DDLs for every database type, using the advantages of the actual
database.

What is your opinion on this point?


Kind regards
