Re: [HACKERS] MySQL to PostgreSQL for SugarCRM

I'm currently most interested in getting SugarCRM working natively on Postgres. Does anybody know a good CRM package that is BSD all the way through?? It is great that there are many CRM packages that already support the worlds most advanced open source database.

I am sure that SugarCRM is wildly popular these days as an "enterprise-class" open source alternative AND that it is presently only officially supported on MySQL. I believe that Postgres and/or EDB-Postgres ought to be the database of choice for all SugarCRM customers who love their data.

You could also check out Conflux ( http://www.conflux.ee/ ), which is
natively built on postgreSQL and mod_python.

Like SugarCRM they have both free and commercial versions.

I'm not sure how much CRM functionality the have the free (GPL) version,
but they have also an up-to-5-user but otherwise unlimited trial of full
version.
