[wp-hackers] Google SoC: PostgreSQL port

[Computer Guru]

Matt, there was this plugin I came across for WP 1.5, and it sounds interesting.
Instead of rewriting db.php, this plugin instead uses PREG to replace queries on the fly.....

Her plugin is decent, I downloaded a copy of WP 1.5.2 and it had some glitches, but it WORKED....

Do you have any idea if this kind of system COULD be implemented via a plugin for WP 2.1.x?

Technically, this would address ALL the issues raised regarding plugin DB-access structure, non-ANSI functions, etc.....
