OK, you hit me, I am trying to convert a mysql scheme to postgresql...

Realy, I hate programs which relay on ONE database only and can not
easyly adapt to use another one...

I use PostgreSQL since 1999 and since some time I have to install mysql
and sqlite because programs are sucking. There is NO seperate definition
for the database stuff, so I have to walt trough the PHP scripts to get
the stuff and try to put it into a seperated file... which then can be
adapted to any databases...

Note: Since I am hit by such problems, my own php script use external
database definition which then can easily adapted and of course
I try avoid database specific functions...

MySQL has hit me more then once.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
