Hi Brian,
This sounds interesting. If you want to really learn to get the most
out of PostgreSQL, you're probably best to join the PostgreSQL "Hackers"
mailing list.
If you've learnt not to deliberately leave backdoors in your code so you
can walk into sites', as you used to do with Phorum's code, then you
might find some people here willing to help.
Just checked the Phorum website and noticed you've removed the original
advisories, from a few years ago.
Hmmmmm.... don't be surprised if people here watch you *very carefully*,
due to your prior history of having abused people who placed trust in
you.
