I’m a bit fed up that I had to install `MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/>`_ on my server to have
|
|||
|
|
`Wordpress <http://wordpress.org/>`_ working, so I’ve Googled a bit to find a solution for my
|
|||
|
|
pain. I found `this <http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Alternative_Databases>`_. I don’t know
|
|||
|
|
when this post was written, but I think it’s a bit out of date. I mean come on, PDO is the part
|
|||
|
|
of PHP for ages now, and they say adding a DBAL to the dependencies would be a project as large as
|
|||
|
|
(or larger than) WP itself. Well, yes, but PHP is already a dependency, isn’t it? Remove it
|
|||
|
|
guys, it’s too large!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Okay, to be serious… Having a heavily MySQL dependent codebase is a bad thing in my opinion, and
|
|||
|
|
changing it is no easy task. But once it is done, it would be a child’s play to keep it up to
|
|||
|
|
date, and to port WP to other database backends. And it would be more than enough to call it 4.0,
|
|||
|
|
and raising version numbers fast is a must nowadays (right, Firefox and Linux Kernel guys?)
