People always ask about this. I need to get a FAQ together (in my spare
time). Here's my answer (I'm cc'ing to the bricolage-general list so
that I can point to it when I'm asked this in the future):
* Bricolage has a few PostgreSQL-specific uses, but these could
probably be ferreted out and changed.
* I will be moving the SQL code around in the source tree in such a was
as to allow for support for other RDBMSs to be added without too much
organizational difficulty.
* Bricolage has RDBMS adaptor drivers, though only DBD::Pg and
DBD::Oracle at the moment, and the Oracle one is out of date. I have an
even older one for MySQL lying around here somewhere.
* Many people have expressed an interest in porting Bricolage to
another database, but no one has produced any patches to date. This is
most likely because there is a *lot* of SQL code to evaluate and
possibly change.
* Regardless of what databases are supported in the future, primary
development will continue on PostgreSQL.
* Bricolage is designed for use by large organizations, and the
expectation is that they'll be able to pay the extra couple of grand
for the extra horsepower for a PostgreSQL server.
So...patches welcome. ;-)
Regards,
David
