Serendipity – WordPress with Postgres
I wanted to use postgres with my wordpress installs but as it turns out this isn’t supported and the WordPress guys even refuse to use it. Sounds a little simple minded to me.I went looking and I found an OLD port of wordpress to support postgres but there is no way I will run it for security and theme issues. So what now?
I found Serendipity which is a PHP blog engine which supports postgresql! Yay, finally. It looks good, seems to support a lot of things right out of the box which wordpress requires plugins for. So my nice project is to install it and give it a go. Hopefully porting all my blogs over to it.
Why postgres? Well I can VERY easily backup my postgres database’s. I do all my dev on postgres and I love the ease at which I can back them all up. I have struggled to find a simple, straight forward way to backup MySQL in a consistent, USABLE fashion. Also, I have had a MySQL database go corrupt on me, I did nothing, it just broke. Luckily I poked around and got some of my data out, but wasn’t happy.
Bring on Serendipity!
