I adapted Joomla a couple years ago so that it worked fully in Postgres since there were many requests in the Joomla community for such support. The Joomla devs asked me to create a driver for them as a result, so I developed and contributed back the driver and necessary installation scripts, but their response was strangely to ignore it completely and instead add support for Oracle and SQL Server. :/ And even though the database driver system has been overhauled since I wrote my patch, the driver for the new architecture looks like it's originally derived from my own. https://github.com/gpongelli/joomla-platform/blob/postgresql/libraries/joomla/database/database/postgresql.php vs http://downloads.joomlacode.org/trackeritem/4/5/1/45109/postgresql.php.v2.txt But that's by the by. However support gets in, it's all good. :) -- Thom

However support gets in, it's all good. :) Prototypes from strange places seldom get accepted, but OTOH often nothing happens without an initial attempt either so that sounds like situation normal.
