[Phpwebsite-developers] PostGRE blues

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Unfortunately, the list of things that differ between MySQL and other
databases begins to grow.

PostGRE requires a database to connect. This database is connected with
the username of the PostGRE account.

What this means is that you can't connect, and then create a database as
you can with MySQL. So that functionality is probably going to be removed
from the setup. It will instead tell the user they must create a database
before continuing installation.

We also talked about ways we could make this easier on the user. We could,
perhaps, echo instructions on how to create the database in their
respective db choice.

We shall see tomorrow as we try to get a PostGRE install to run.
