Hello.

I am interested in using AfterLogic but with a PostGreSQL database rather than a MySQL. I looked a bit in the code and it seems there are two ways to access the database: several files (most of them DAV folders) access it with PDOs but it seems the core uses plain mysql commands (which have been deprecated). Is it normal ? Are both ways currently used ?

Using PDOs everywhere could be a way to easily change the database backend (as it would require only to change the connection string) but I'd like to know if there are plans about this ? Any suggestions about where I should look first ?

Thanks,
Sebastien

PDO is only used when accessing DAV storage, while for other operations, it's still mysql_ functions. We're planning to implement PDO way throughout webmail in subsequent versions.

Any ETA ? Are you already working on it ?

I'll need this soon and the best would be to add PDOs and Postgresql support in a way that you integrate our changes in the official version.

Any tips/suggestions on achieving that ?

As far as I can tell, this will probably be implemented in next release scheduled for first quarter of 2014.

Thanks ! I'll probably hack around to have a quick version with PostrgreSQL support and wait for your version to have clean support.
