Web Wrench (located at
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?webwrench) is a
content manager/document manager designed with small to large
businesses in mind. When I first started writing the software I
kept in mind the need for more industrial strength SQL servers.
Well after 2 years I've finally added PostgreSQL to the mix
with a wrapper type system. The exciting news about this is as
long as a module/add-in developer utilizes the wrapper their
software will work as exactly as intended on PostgreSQL even if
they wrote their software using MySQL. The wrapper is not
pathetically light weight, as it supports a large variety of
field types including blob's. And i'm optimizing as I
familarize myself more with PostgreSQL and how to tweak power
out of it.
I'm currently testing with Apache 2, PHP 4 & 5, and
PostgreSQL 8.0.
I'm very happy with the results of PostgreSQL as a database
server for Wrench (wish my web host had a PostgreSQL
server.)
I'm also going to remain committed to keeping Web Wrench
PostgreSQL compatiable as its now my favored server to develope
with.
