--- Comment #42 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- Hi Bruno, This a long story, with plenty of technical difficulties. Currently we have these kind of database supported : - sqlite (local) - Mysql (local) - Mysql (remote) - Mariadb (local) - Mariadb (remote) all use the QtSql plugin to access to database. So Postgresql is possible as a plugin for this database already exists. But accessing to th database is not enough. We need to manage tables and contents, depending of database engine features. For ex, Mariadb and sqlite do not provided the same functionalities and to manage relation between tables need adjusted schema. This is done in an XML schema for the tables properties depending of the database engine. The rest of the code is factored in common Sql queries more and less portable. The first database supported was sqlite2, now 3. Later Mysql is coming following by Mariadb. But in schema and implementation, for the remote databases, it still some implementations to do and serious optimizations. Also, the database interface do not permit yet current access from different digiKam instances. So to add a new database support, we need to finalize all the features planed for the remote support, and later Postgresql can be add safety.
