I found following comment for using PostgreSQL with MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility#Database "Anything other than MySQL or MariaDB is not recommended for production use at this point." This is a sad and disappointed statement for us. Should we help MediaWiki community to enhance this?
the classic problem with any of these sorts of open source projects, while you can convert the core system to postgres, there's a huge community of contributed plugins, and many of these authors have zero interest in anything but their default database, mysql/mariadb. I ran into this with Drupal, Wordpress, a couple different forum projects. Drupal even tried to offer a database API so plugin developers wouldn't touch SQL directly, but too many ignored it.
