No sorry. vB requires MySQL. There is no postgresql version available.

Why can't you have mysql on your server? You can only use mysql with it.

the server its on my faculty
and the dont wanna to install MYSQL
so is some version of vb or is there some modification with who i can install vb on postgresql server

[l SKN l CHRIS]

Nope. Someone did it here before put its TONS of work. Use phpBB or something.

byt i like vb
can some make some script who will be between vb and postgresql
or when can i find how to install MySQL over telnet client (putty)
the server is Ubuntu Server 7.10
i have sudo privilegion
thanks

[Steve Machol]

This is not available. Sorry we did not make that clear. You can, of course, hire a programmer to rewrite vB if you want. I suspect it will be quite expensive.

[MetalGear]

no i think it will be better to install MySQL
byt i dont know how
can someone tell me
thanks
or how to from postgresql server to make MySQL without deleting all databases
on the server
i will buy licence in same moment whenb i fix the problem

You should try hiring a SYSTEMS ADMIN to do the work for you.

This isn't actually his server, if you read the first post.

Also if your faculty will not install MySQL, you shouldn't even attempt to install MySQL yourself unless you've asked permission to do so.

This is something that vBulleting should begin considering being that Oracle has aquired MySQL and is now trying to merger with Sun.

The "open source" nature of MySQL is in question now and many are begining to seek alternatives. I guess it's early enough that MySQL users can seek and or implement contingency plans if need be.

That shouldn't affect vbulletin, vbulletin isn't open source.

Also it hasn't been confirmed whether the merger will be ok'ed and if it is, we don't even know what Oracle's plans would be for MySQL.

As users gravitate away from MySQL, they will gravitate away from vBulletin too, don't ya think?

As for the comments about using MySQL for cloud computing, companies like Oracle will jump over hoops to try and sell their "enterprise" solution over any freeware, open source that's out there. It was very wise of them to have acquired MySQL. I'm sure their aim isn't to develop it further but constrain it so as not to compete with their big bloatware.

No, lets wait for official announcements first
