# PostgreSQL Module Module
2014-02-18 05:52:03 +01:00
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/silverstripe/silverstripe-postgresql.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/silverstripe/silverstripe-postgresql)
## Maintainer Contact
* Sam Minnee (Nickname: sminnee) <sam@silverstripe.com>
## Requirements
* SilverStripe 3.0
* PostgreSQL 8.3.x or greater must be installed
* PostgreSQL <8.3.0 may work if T-Search is manually installed
* Known to work on OS X Leopard, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Linux
## Installation
1. Extract the contents so they reside as a **postgresql** directory inside your SilverStripe project code
2. Open the installer by browsing to install.php, e.g. http://localhost/silverstripe/install.php
3. Select PostgreSQL in the database list and enter your database details
## Usage Overview
See docs/en for more information about configuring the module.
## Known issues
All column and table names must be double-quoted. PostgreSQL automatically
lower-cases columns, and your queries will fail if you don't.
Ts_vector columns are not automatically detected by the built-in search
filters. That means if you're doing a search through the CMS on a ModelAdmin
object, it will use LIKE queries which are very slow. If you're writing your
own front-end search system, you can specify the columns to use for search
purposes, and you get the full benefits of T-Search.
If you are using unsupported modules, there may be instances of MySQL-specific
SQL queries which will need to be made database-agnostic where possible.
