Re: Any commercial shopping cart packages using postgresql?

Jeff,

When they did the port, did they also "do the right thing" with foriegn
keys, stored procs, etc? I've been following several ports of MySQL
packages to PG. The thing that distresses me (as I've said before) is
that 90% of these ports simply seem to port the existing system to a
different DB (it's cool to be different, etc) without taking advantage
of any of the benefits of a fully ORDBMS, most notably phpPgAdsNew.

This IMHO is an excercise in futility when an application can be made to
excel it's previous incantation.

Just for the record, if you're prepared to take a snapshot or a
milestone build of oSCommerce and stick with it, it can be very
rewarding. One of my customers is using a snapshot from earlier this
year and is very happy with it! But I'm anaware of the PG port that
Jeff mentioned.

Cheers

T.
