Unfortunately, there is no use of an abstraction layer in SugarCRM, and the few comments I found in their forum about alternate databases indicated a current focus on feature enhancements and sales / services, not supporting alternate databases.
Scott,
Thanks for the insight. Up until the mid-1990s (when I migrated from DOS to linux), I used my own CRM written in Paradox. I tuned it over time to do everything I wanted, and it was open and used every day. I just never did port that to postgres.
Guess now's the time. I'm trying to find a copy of pygresql to use, but it's not easy (www.pygresql.org leads to druid.net and there's nothing on the page about pygresql). I'm learning python to use on a major project here (but the core libraries will remain in C) so I'd like to use that for the UI on this project, too. I'm still not sure about the reports, but one step at a time. That is, will the pygresql display nicely formatted reports based on sql queries to the backend? Need to find out.
Again, thanks,
Rich
