Thread: open source - content management system - that uses PostGreSQL

Hello,

I am currently setting up a website and have PostGreSQL database I'm using for the backend. I'm researching an open source Content Management System that uses PostGreSQL. Do you have any recommendations?

Alternatively, I noticed most open source Content Management Systems use MySQL. If I'm using a PostGreSQL database to store data from customers, but also have MySQL database capability, can I still use a Content Management System that uses MySQL and still use PostGreSQL to store data from customers?

Thank you for your time.

Cheers,
Andrew

However,

If you are going to use Drupal on a site with a lot of content make sure
you rip out the search and plug in tsearch2.

I'd also highly recommend eZpublish from eZsystems.

Bricolage uses PostgreSQL as its backend.

One nice CMS package -- it doesn't force you to use Postgresql, but that is
(IIRC) the default -- and python:
