Today, there has only been mails of people asking if it is is out plans t=
o do it or not.
So if you can do it, it would be wonderful for the project, for all who w=
ould like
postgresql instead of mysql like you :)

Some tips ?
Well, for the parser, this should be easy :
- have a look on modules/storage_print.h (useless in production, but a go=
od example), on
modules/storage_mysql.h, and in fact, on all the files in the directory m=
odules/
- Take one of those files, hack it, and make your own storage module for =
postgresql.

For the db tools, no work has be done, and neither Ben or me will do it i=
n the short
future, just because we have other projects on perfparse before this :)

For the CGIs, may I ask you to wait a little ? My next project is to work=
 on perfchart
in order to put a modular system to load plugins to read from mysql and d=
irectly from
perfparsed. When this system is ready, you will be able to hack one of th=
e 2 plugins and
make yours for postgresql.
Then, the missing CGIs are perfparse.cgi and perfgant.cgi. I hope it will=
 not be too
hard to let them use the plugins of perfchart.

So if you finised the postgresql storage module for perfparsed and are st=
ill waiting for
me for perfchart, you will be able to do something on the db tools (insta=
ll, upgrade and
clean the database).

Merry Christmas :)
