postgres database not allowing other engines or dialects

[gateslm]

This issue was started on the Google Groups.

When using postgres database, you are unable to use other engines.

Linked to me was the following code snippet about using postgres. You can see it is searching exactly for postgres://, which will not allow for variations like postgresql://.

Mentioned in the Google Group, potentially adding regex or checking for either.

The documentation for postgres recommends postgresql://.

By making it regex, it could allow for other engines and dialects.
