Hello

I have some questions regarding pgsql and how it may apply
to other open source software.  Could you advise which forum is best
suited to answer these questions.

Background

I am undertaking a development which typically relies on the
type of functionality that can be found at Joomla (www.joomla.com)
and Drupel (www.drupel.com) – account
management, user content development, social networking, etc.  I want to
have it developed using Postgsql and NOT MySql due to the inherent scalability
of Postgsql.

Both Joomla / Drupal are making their databases work with
Postgsql using an abstraction layer.

Questions – re MySQL/ Postgresql/Joomla/Drupel

Could you advise on the following?

 Is there a project to create
     MySQL compatibility for Postgresql? I am not technical so
     you will need to explain as if I am a 3-year old!
 What
     other Open Source solutions which support the similar type of
     functionality found on Joomla and Drupal work with Postgresql?
