Does anyone know of any work being done to get wordpress ported to PostgreSQL?
My search on the web finds emails from March of this year concerning some ppl
more or less "looking into it", but I can't find anything that indicates
they've done much more then talk

There was an experimental patch at one time. However the devs don't
really have much interest in PostgreSQL AFAICT.

Ya, I found the wordpress-pg.sourceforge.org project, but that was for 1.2 ...
major old

I have one client running Blogsom w/ PostgreSQL that works well, but a whack
running MySQL that I'd love nothing more then to get off of it If we ever
have performance problems on our servers, the "fix" is usually (and I mean
99.9% of the time) to restart the mysql processes *sigh*

And it seems to me that you could get a *wildly* better blog design by
making an expressly PostgreSQL-oriented design.

Consider:
a) Mapping things like Wiki-style special indicators of formatting
(e.g. - where indentation / * means something) onto some "final form"
using stored procs written in pl/[text-munging-language]

b) Managing the various sorts of objects (users, entries, links to
local entries, links to outside entries) using a stored function API
so that what's visible in the outside language (Perl CGI or whatever)
becomes fairly trivial

c) Allowing the use of intelligent data types. Self-compressing
TOAST, strongly typed URLs, strongly typed and validated email
addresses, all of that sort of thing.

Marc,

We are working on making the port to PostgreSQL ... may be for the end of this
month.
We have wrote to the Wordpress team ... but without any answer for the
moment ... (
When it'll be ready from our part, I'll inform you.

Best regards,

the wordpress guys have basically said they do not want to support postgres,
which is mainly why we swapped to s9y on planetpg. you can read some more
