we would be glad to integrate adodb to LAMS 1.1 so that the greater richness of postgresql can be used instead of mysql. We have decided to go with postgresql now because of the cloud over innodb in Mysql (being bought out by Oracle is not a good sign to us) and now postgresql has 8.1, which is really great, and a native version for windows. Another suggestion relates to both Derby and Berkeley DB as possible candidates as well. This would make sense for the Moodle/LASMS integration.

G'day Michael,

LAMS 1.1 uses hibernate, which in principle allows you to use almost any database you need//want.

About a month ago, Yoichi did an analisys to migrate to Postgres and we concluded that while it wasn't trivial, it wasn't really hard either. The main tasks of a port are:

* Port the creation sql scripts to the another db (datamodel shemas)
* and do some minor changes in the configuration scripts

(also some tuning wouldn't be a bad idea)

At the moment, we will continue with MySQL, but it will be great if someone in the community can help out with these ports in the future.
