[Phpwiki-talk] pgsql for 1.3? pgsql supports unicode

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up wiki 1.3 for use with pgsql. Is the DB backend for=20=

postgresql still in the works? I get this error when loading the home =
page.
  pgsql is running, wiki database created with the schema.

lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:28: Fatal[256]: Can't connect to database:=20=

wikidb_backend_pgsql: fatal database error

=95  DB Error: connect failed
=95  (pgsql://postgres@localhost/wiki)
=95

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in=20
/Library/WebServer/Documents/phpwiki-1.3/lib/ErrorManager.php on line =
191

index.php:
'dsn' =3D> 'pgsql://postgres@localhost/wiki',

MySQL doesn't seem to support UTF-8 or unicode yet. For Wiki to support=20=

UTF-8, non-ascii characters would have to be encoded into hex strings=20
before storing in the database. This might be ugly in the database but =
the=20
%hex%hex codes can be dumped straight into the html.

pgSQL does support multibyte unicode characters and utf-8 encoded =
unicode.
