Hi there,
I've been toying with using PostgreSQL for some of my Drupal sites for
some time, and after his session at OpenSourceDays in Copenhagen last
weekend, Magnus Hagander told me that there a quite a few in the
PostgreSQL community using Drupal.
I have been testing it a bit performance-wise, and the numbers are
worrying. In my test, MySQL (using InnoDB) had a 40% lead in
performance, but I'm unsure whether this is indicative for PostgreSQL
performance in general or perhaps a misconfiguration on my part.
In any case, if anyone has any tips, input, etc. on how best to
configure PostgreSQL for Drupal, or can find a way to poke holes in my
analysis, I would love to hear your insights :)
The performance test results can be found on my blog:
