Prestashop and Postgresql

Question

Prestashop uses by default mysql. So my question is, exist some plugin or project to install prestashop 1.6 with postgresql instead mysql?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Prestashop doesn't support Postgresql unfortunately. And I don't know any plugin that does that.

Here is a link on the forge with that demand : Prestashop and DB PostgreSQL V1.5. Its priority is minor.

A very interessing study about the feasibility.

Here are the titles of this study :

1. Back quote (`) problem (non-standard: MySQL expand)
2. Table Definitions (Data Type : UNSIGNED, auto_increment, ENUM - CREATE TABLE)
3. INSERT ( INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, INSERT IGNORE, INSERT INTO table () VALUES ())
4. REPLACE (non-standard: MySQL expand)
5. SELECT (Last_Insert_Id, SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, IF(), IFNULL())
6. UPDATE LIMIT, DELETE LIMIT statements (non-standard: MySQL expand)
7. SHOW commands

3 important issues:

1. How to change Db::insert method.
2. How to emulate last_insert_id() function.
3. How to rewrite UPDATE/DELETE LIMIT logic.
