Has anyone put MediaWiki up using the current version of Postgresql?
I have, although our Mediawiki installation is currently not openly
accessible. Can't say that it went like a breeze, but the obstacles
where more or less minor and writing a little custom auth-plugin
wasn't
really too hard either. If your question was just along the lines of
"does it run", I can confirm that, yes, it does. I cannot say
though how
well it would stand up to high loads and if every query and index has
been fully tweaked.
Given that this page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgDBtype
says:
Use ""mysql"" for working code and ""PostgreSQL"" for development/
broken
code.
I'd guess that PostgreSQL support is not quite at the same level as
MySQL just yet. :)
If I'm not confusing wiki's (and I'm offline now, so I can't check),
Mediawiki is pretty un-interested in supporting PostgreSQL (hard to
imagine why, given that some of their folks are paid by MySQL AB), so
a fork was created on pgFoundry. I believe it's called pgpedia.
If I am confusing wiki's, I'm wondering if they'd be willing to
accept patches to improve PostgreSQL support...
