I think the point Denis is trying to make is that postgresql will get much more exposure if SugarCRM works with
it out of the box.

Not taking away from any of these other great projects, but to get mindshare postgresql needs to work with existing projects.

Well we have a CRM package that does ERP/project
management/ticketing/file sharing etc as well, called EGS
http://egs.sourceforge.net. Although the sf.net page is out of date we
are about to release 1.0 on 1st september to great fanfare! With a new
website et al. It works out of the box on postgres although should
work on others becuase of the DB abstraction layer. It is also being
used by several companies around the World and is released under the
GPL by the company I work for.

If anyone is interested I can give you access to our demo/subversion
repositry please contact me off list if you do and I can give you
details.

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.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I didn't see much evidence on the SugarCRM site that they are interested in an DB besides MySQL. But, it is also my hope that the core SugarCRM project will come around to supporting
EDB/PostgreSQL (once we have done the port for them and committed to
testing and maintaining it).


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.
