Hello All,
I have noticed that almost all, if not all examples of installing Kamailio install the PostgreSQL libraries. If one is using MySQL, is there a need for this? Is there something in Kamailio that requires these PostgreSQL libraries to be installed?
Thank you
in databases realm postgresql is the king. surely thats why it is a goto for kamailio users. I believe you can test this by installing without postgres support and see for yourself if kamailio shows any warnings about missing libs.

Hi Steve,
No, if you're using MySQL, you don't need PostgreSQL libraries... if you're not using any database, you don't need any database. =)
Some people like MySQL, some like PostgreSQL, some like Redis, some use Casandra, sqllite, or Oracle.
Different strokes for different folks.
If you look at the install guide on the Kamailio website, it does not force you to install postgresql libraries and is geared towards MySQL:

Hello,
actually I am not aware of any article that install postgres libraries when deploying kamailio with mysql backend.
I am maintaining the ones on kamailio.org wiki/docs (link provided also by Fred: https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/#installation) and all are with mysql backend and no postgres dependencies.
Can you point to some that you found? If they are in kamailio.org, they should be fixed.
Cheers, Daniel
