Re: EGS/Postgresql - Was Re: [Web-erp-developers] Cheap

I believe we can get weberp going on Postgres easily too - much of the
ground work has been done by Danie - but sql in some scripts may have to
change to be more generic. Most of it is pretty generic. I am keen not to be
reliant on MySql as the only db weberp works on. If we can get the system
working on postgres it surely will not be much more to do to work with
firebird, MS SQL server, Sybase and a bunch of others. I know Jesse is a bit
sceptical - I'd like to prove it. Alas all good things do take time though.

I also believe it is much better to work with someone who is keen on
integration from the other side of the integration. Count me in Jake.
