Re: [Perfparse-devel] PostgreSQL Storage

[Ben C. <bcl...@pe...>]

Priewasser,

There has been a lot of discussion about other DBMS's.  Oracle, 
PostgreSQL and others.  For what ever reason this seemed to come to nothing.

I can speak for all developers when I say we would be extremely excited 
and interested in a PostgreSQL port.  Please take a look and expect as 
much support as possible from my self, Yves, Flo and other interested 
parties.

At the moment our ideas are very simple:

#ifdef MYSQL
#elseif POSTGRESQL
#endif

(Or similar variable supplied by a configuration option programmed by Yves.)

I see the work in a few short parts: (Yves will probably clarify a few 
points.)

- Create new create/delete scripts in 'contrib'.

- Create a new lib libpp_psql as a copy of libpp_mysql.

- Edit dbms.c as above.  Try to leave dbms.h as is.  Edit other code in 
lib to adjust where needed.

- Examine the code for all SQL queries, and adjust where needed for 
PostgreSQL, again as above.

This is actually less than it seems.  If you want to have a look at 
that, please do.

Let us know how you get on, and please let us know if you need more _or_ 
less support!

You may also use our mailing list perfparse-devel-int for a more 
free-flowing relaxed discussion, if you want to involve developers in a 
public conversation.

Kind regards,

Ben Clewett.
