vbulletin w/PostgresSQL

While I have no need for it, it would be nice for some people to be able to use PostgresSQL instead of mySQL. For those people, check out the following program:

Mysql PHP to PostgresSQL

Of course, the optimal solution would to totally abstract the database out of the PHP so that you could use mysql, odbc, PostgresSQL, Oracle, or any other database server... Maybe that will come with VB ver 2.0 :)

(can you imagine vbulletin running under Oracle ? Infopop should be quakin' in their boots...)

Actually, all the DB stuff is stored in a single class in db_mysql.php. All one would have to do is redefine the class to a different format. Unfortunately, I don't if all used SQL calls are supported by different formats.
