Right now we are planning on providing drivers for mysql, mysqli, and postgresql. With that in mind, I got two questions for you: 1) If you are using MySQL, what version are you using in your production environment? 2) Beyond MySQL, what other database(s) do you need support for? Looking forward to your feedback, and excited to be getting this work underway! -- Mitch Pirtle Joomla!

I am wondering if Joomla! can use adodb as database abstract layer for future development and about to take a closer look, and here comes your email! We are currently use MySQL 4.0 and 4.1 for production, a new project will be out soon with MySQL 5. Joomla! with PostgreSQL is certainly a PLUS, since it's another true enterprise level open source project. Thanks again! Cheers!

That presumption is correct ;-) After working with several external libraries and performance testing, we've decided that abstracting the abstraction layer just wasn't justified. For us, we are taking a very ADOdb-like approach, and providing database connectors/drivers as part of the core of the system. This is good news for everyone, as we are not tied to an external library just to connect to a database, and also the community is free to provide drivers for whatever data source they want - and this includes 3rd party developers as well. -- Mitch Pirtle Joomla!

You can either patch or untar the new distribution on top of your existing site (just remember to remove the installation directory). I would not just apply that one manual fix, as it really doesn't cover the full scope of the problem. -- Mitch From gisolfi at us.ibm.com Tue Nov 22 08:07:06 2005 From: gisolfi at us.ibm.com (Dan Gisolfi) Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 06:07:06 -0700 Subject: [joomla] Drawbacks of running Joomla on PHP5 as CGI Message-ID: An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The hack was done by "A n o m a l y 1 n t h e S y s t e m C r E W" (A1TS). Heard of these guys?
