curious whether anyone's farted around with using MariaDB or *gasp* PostgreSQL for their install.
MariaDB should work fine, as it's a drop-in replacement for MySQL.
Postgres doesn't work, and likely never will. Our SQL framework was written purely with MySQL in mind, and our schema update process will almost certainly only work on MySQL and compatibles.
None of us know Postgres, and in 7 years we've never had a compelling reason to support it.
But what if your company doesn't approve MySQL -and- all derivatives?!?
I know enough about postgres to not want to know any more about it ;-)
