Not sure if this is a question for a php list or this one, but I'll give it a shot and
if I am wrong, please do not crucify me. :-)
There is a php based sourceforge project called mailwatch. (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mailwatch) It logs data from the excellent
Mailscanner security product into a mysql database. Now, I am not a php programmer,
and I am barely a Postgres DBA, but I would really like to port the code to Postgresql.
I have my trust Postgresql Book which covers the API for Postgresql and the PHP statements
used for Postgresql seem almost identical to those used for Mysql. I understand that there are
some slight differences in the data types supported by Mysql and Postgresql, however are the differences
between the two Databases and API's that great to make task impossible for an unexperienced person
such as myself? We currently use Postgresql in conjunction with sendmail to store our access, mailertable
and other db's, so it would be very convenient for us to achieve this.
