roadmap

[hans]

i'm looking for a kind of dataface roadmap, if there is any chance to support other databasses too. especially interested in PostgreSQL.
i think they call it 'database abstraction layer'. Any ideas for that?
thanks.

Hi Hans,

At this point it is unlikely that there will be a PostgreSQL version in the near future. Dataface uses a lot of MySQL specific stuff and I don't have the resources to maintain a multi-database system right now. If one of my clients required PostgreSQL and had some resources to put into developing it and supporting it, that might make it different, but I currently don't have the need.

Porting it would involve more than just putting in the usual DB abstraction layer. There are a lot of MySQL specific calls that would all have to be reworked. In theory it would be possible to do this be sitting down and hashing it out, but it would be quite a bit of work.

Best regards

Steve

I'm not sure I fully understand the question.Ê Dataface is a PHP framework that runs on top of Apache.Ê If you can elaborate on what you are trying to do, perhaps I can provide some suggestions.
