[opencms-dev] [PATCH] PostgreSQL support for OpenCMS 6.x (CVS)

[Alexander Kandzior]

Great work :-)

I want to include this in the core distribution. 

Question: What should we put in the text in the "database_information.html"
that is part of the "webapps/setup/postgressql" folder?

Currently the text says:

		This generic ANSI SQL database driver has been developed as
fallback in case no specific driver is available for a database.
		It should work with full ANSI SQL-92 compliant databases.
		The driver was developed by Alkacon Software as part of the
OpenCms core distribution.</p><p> 

Don't hesitate to send me another text and logo to include. Actually we
don't wan't to take credit for this driver.

Best Regards,
Alex.

	Dear all,
	
	here is a patch developed by my friend Antonio Core which adds
native PostgreSQL support to the CVS version of OpenCMS.
	
	In order to use it you must have a CVS checkout of the opencms
source.
	
	Go into the opencms directory and launch the following command:
	
	patch -p0 < ....path.../opencms_postgresql.patch
	
	Download the PostgreSQL JDBC driver from here:
	http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/pg74.215.jdbc3.jar
	
	and put it in webapp/WEB-INF/lib
	
	Build as usual and install under your servlet container of choice.
	
	Make sure you have the correct configuration in pg_hba.conf in order
to allow JDBC connections to the database.
	
	Please let us know if you have any problems.
	
	And remember to thank Antonio :)
	
	
	Tristan
