[wp-hackers] PostgreSQL port status?

[Computer Guru]

Here's the ticket + patch. Tested with new install then upgrade to SVN, works fine here.
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5127


Gonna need another patch to *always* check for db.php instead of wp-db.php:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5128

With these two in the bag you should be good to go with any query rewriters and database drivers stuck in wp-content/db.php.
