Jan,
I've actually written the postgres module for SER twice now. It isn't working consistantly for me. Things run for while and eventually core dump. That is why I haven't released it.
I think I'm a pretty good coder. I can't believe I can't make this work! The layering in SER is very good, and it frustrates me that I cannot get the module to work for an extended period of time. I must be missing a fundamental concept.
I put debugs in the code, and printed a message every time any of the main modules were entered. My results were not conclusive, but it occurred to me that the init/open module wasn't being called before the channel was being used.
I also had another bug where the communication channel becomes corrupted...so I put some code in that closed and reopened the postgres bb com channel in the event an error occurs...this worked but it should not be necessary.
Anyway, I had a postgres module that worked for serveral hours at a time. I can dust it off and see if I can get it going again. Perhaps with your help we can finish it. I have every intention of releasing the code via GPL.
I too perfer postgres over mysql for many reasons. We are doing our SER accounting in postgres.

Also, we are migrating towards a Postgres shop here, so I
would be very
interested in Postgressifying the whole thing, accounting
and SER itself.
There was a post a while ago that somebody set out to do a
DB interface
SER/Postgres; if this is under way, fine - if this project
was abandoned,
we might chip in and do it - pleas get in touch with me
We are also very interested in postgres support, IIRC Greg Faustak wanted to develop the module but I don't know what is the current state, Greg, could you clarify, please ?
I am ready to give you support and we could distribute it along with ser if you decide to develop the module and release it under the terms of the GPL.
Jan.
