PostgreSQL

ETA for PostgreSQL?

Is postgresql's implementation coming to DA any time soon?

 

[ProWebUK]

I cant imagine PostGreSQL support being fully included and manageable through the DirectAdmin interface for quite a while, I may be wrong in thinking this although I have not seen any previous mention of it by DirectAdmin nor does there seem to be much demand for it.

I suggest if you want PostGreSQL with an interface now, you use PostGreSQL along with pgpMyAdmin (postgre version of phpMyAdmin)

It shouldnt be too difficult to get that going either.

Yep, that's easy for me to setup, but I'm moving away from Hsphere because I was using too many external applications. In my experience, users need to have everything in one place : the cp.

Thats what cpanel have done, and look at that

It must, of course , be done the right way. I trust the DA team for that.

Not that my comments here specifically relate to this thread, but I do *not* agree that cpanel's approach - or rather the everything-in-panel approach - has anything wrong with it. As a matter of opinion, I like it better than using 3rd-party tools to keep my server chugging. HOWEVER, to make it even feasible there *has* to be an option to disable the "extra" features, which could include built-in postgresql, automagic software upgrades, or for the pure fun of it, a search engine submission extension. There is always room for more fun!

 

[interfasys]

I agree. Modularity for admins and resellers is a MUST.
We shouldn't have to rely on skins for that because it's too much hassle to upgrade every skin with every release.

 

[ProWebUK]

Most defintely.

include built-in postgresql

Agreed again, PostGreSQL is required by certain websites.

automagic software upgrades, or for the pure fun of it, a search engine submission extension. There is always room for more fun!

This is where i 100% *disagree*

Automatic software upgrades are the job of the server administrator and should not be taken into a control panel designed to simplify the creation of hosting accounts, provide software required for websites and an interface for users to control simple options.

Open IE > Type search engine submission > click 'im feeling lucky'* and wallah job done we have officially helped DA remain pointless feature free

* - this is based on my current settings, as you can probably tell google is my homepage, you may also not want to do this as in nearly all cases bulk search engine submitters *do not* work.

I think postgresql is a nice new feature, and for DA it shouldn't be so difficult, because it's all a little bit the same as MySQL. Ofcourse they need to work on it and it should be expirimental in the beginning, but still, it would improve DA i think.

But as I can see, DA is also very busy with some other important stuff that they have to do, so my guesses are that it will not be implanted yet.

 

[FarCry]

in my opinion, which is very biased mind you, pgsql would be a waste of time, there are more important features to be added in.

Hello, I wanna ask the Support Team, when aproximately will be added support for PostgreSQL in DA, similar to MySQL support?

I know that this is not a priority, but maybe you guys have an ideea when this database server will be supported by Direct Admin.

Thanks.

[REQUEST] PostgreSQL in DirectAdmin

I was wondering if it is possible to add PostgreSQL in DirectAdmin, allong with phpPgAdmin

Some customers are intrested in this feature, and i'm to!

 

[jmstacey]

It is possible, but you have to install and manage it yourself since DirectAdmin doesn't support it
And you won't be able to do any management functions with databases through DirectAdmin unless someone writes a plugin that will integrate some sort of management feature.

In otherwords, you would have to create accounts for users manually, most likely upon request or with some automated system.

 

[blacknight]

Adding it as an option would be attractive

 

[treffynnon]

I am looking forward to the day that PostgreSQL is added to DA. Any ideas if this will be done? If so when?

Thanks,
Simon

 

[SlashChick]

Bump -- I'd like to see DA manage PostgreSQL as well.

 

[albatroz]

I am pretty sure (and most people do too)
that Postgresql is by far a -technologically- much better database than MySql, however it would be nice to have it supported in our control panels.

However I agree that there may be other priorities.


Maybe I should have a cpanel based reseller account for postgresql requirements and be prepared for migrate them to DA, when required

 

[servertweak]

anything new yet ?

 

[mattb]

I'm looking at writing a 3rd party plugin that will support PostgreSQL.

I've got a very early alpha up, though it's no-where near production ready or even beta quality.

I'll keep you posted...
