Forum OpenACS Q&A: bboard thread from aD concerning Postgres and ACS 5

This is a recent post from the web/db bboard at aD.

It is nice to hear that aD will be supporting PostgreSQL in the future...

"I would not say precisely that database independence is a main focus for 4.6, but the object-relational mapping provided by the persistence system is. 4.6 will not be database independent in the sense that it will only work on Oracle, and we do not intend to port 4.6 to any other databases. However, there will be an upgrade path to 5.0 and we do intend to provide Postgres support for 5.0 within a couple months of the initial release."
