Re: [Serusers] Is there an interface to PostGreSQL instead of mySQL? - sr-users

John,

Download the source.

In the modules directory there is 'mysql' and there is also 'postgres'.
You can edit the main Makefile, remove 'postgres' from the
exclude_modules declaration.  Compile and install.

I have not worked with the 0.8.14 version at all.  I know the postgres 
works
with 0.8.12, I've been using in production.  There is probably some 
work to be done to
make postgres module work with 0.8.14, I don't know.  I need to make 
some time
to work on that, but I haven't yet.

Please keep this on the list!

 It is used just like mysql via a .so file.
  I was reading the installation notes for installing SER on OpenBSD,  
 and
 in the INSTALL document,   I quote;

 - libmysqlclient & libz (zlib) if you want mysql support (the mysql 
 module)
 - libexpat if you want the jabber gateway support (the jabber module)

 What about for PostGreSQL?   Are there any libraries I have to compile
 into "SER" like you see above for "mySQL".

 Do you have the build instructions for linking "SER" to PostGreSQL?

 I don't see any documentation that describes how to add PostGreSQL
 support in the SER build instructions.
