>The SQL queries used in NDOUtils are highly MySQL specific, mostly the ON DUPLICATE KEY functionality based on unique constraints is a bunch of work to be resolved. Next to that, the "normal" insert statements are not normalized (insert into ... set >foo=bar instead of insert into ... () values ()), some missing time conversion procedures and naturally the last insert id on MySQL, which needs an adaption on sequences in Postgresql and Oracle.

Fine, so there will be a lot of boring modifying of the src and associated scripts (if the license permits), but "Not Supported" doesn't mean it can't be done. It all depends on how much hacking one wants to do.

Maybe I am reading it wrong, but nagios/ndoutils-1.4b9/src/db.c is loaded with #ifdef USE_PGSQL connection functions. Some of the PGSQL specific functions in ndo2db.c are commented out, but are at least there.
