DrupalCon Amsterdam 2014: The Case (or not) for PostgreSQL

This talk features a discussion on the state of the PostgreSQL driver in Drupal, presented by mradcliffe. The speaker explores the challenges faced by the pgsql and sqlite drivers, emphasizing their limited support in both Drupal core and contributed modules, especially in comparison to the widely used MySQL driver. He addresses the implications of potentially moving pgsql out of core and outlines what it would take to maintain support for PostgreSQL in Drupal 8 and beyond, highlighting ongoing issues and community initiatives such as improvements to the testbot. As Drupal 8 continues to evolve, the topics discussed remain pertinent to the future of database support within the community.
