PostgreSQL Support

[b4]

PostgreSQL database support, would be nice to support multiple database backends.

We'd need to convert the schema
Add updating support
Add dbFacile support for pgsql

All not impossible but certainly would be a future thing - that's if someone wants to pick this up :)

It definitely would be great to support PostgreSQL, but I suspect that it will be a big job to convert, since the SQL code is spread throughout the code base.

Hi,
instead of dbFacile couldn't be a orm? currently there are several good orm with support multiple databases, similar to this as example, http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/database/query_builder.html#selecting-data

[laf]

Closing this, work is underway converting the front end to laravel which will support this and then we can sort polling / disco to do the same at which point other backend dbs are supported.

Hey there! Any news on this?

[laf]

No one is working on it.

@jpoa This (#8318) could lead to support... but wouldn't be for a long time. We have a lot of SQL queries.
