As all well and done providing PostgreSQL support for Drupal Core - it an important job that provides future proofing for thousands of projects around the world. But it doesn't, well that is to say it shouldn't, stop at just core.

Drupal contrib modules are in all kinds of states when it comes to PostgreSQL, quite often, no one has tested contrib modules on PostgreSQL and quite often I'm the first (lucky me!). Its moments like these I really wish MySQL was a standard compliant database - it would sure as heck my life easier. Developers who use MySQL love doing crazy things with there SQL that work in MySQL and no where else. SQLite support will be introduced in Drupal 7 and I suspect it will find many common problems that PostgreSQL has with contrib modules.

Since I've become a PostgreSQL maintainer for Drupal, its been great to see more and more issues been raised with PostgreSQL issues. Bringing these issues to the contrib maintainer's attention helps create awareness of PostgreSQL and how to do things right.

However, now there are so many issues regarding PostgreSQL in the Drupal issue cue, now the task is to make them all go away again. But this time, fixed rather than ignored.
