Hi there,I've been toying with using PostgreSQL for some of my Drupal sites for some time, and after his session at OpenSourceDays in Copenhagen last weekend, Magnus Hagander told me that there a quite a few in the PostgreSQL community using Drupal.
I have been testing it a bit performance-wise, and the numbers are worrying. In my test, MySQL (using InnoDB) had a 40% lead in performance, but I'm unsure whether this is indicative for PostgreSQL performance in general or perhaps a misconfiguration on my part.
In any case, if anyone has any tips, input, etc. on how best to configure PostgreSQL for Drupal, or can find a way to poke holes in my analysis, I would love to hear your insights :)
The performance test results can be found on my blog: http://mikkel.hoegh.org/blog/2008/drupal_database_performance_mysql_and_postgresql_compared -- Kind regards, Mikkel Høgh <mikkel@xxxxxxxxx>
