Installation Instructions
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Move the 'postgres' folder to the root level of the project.
|
|
You'll need to create a database with the desired name manually.
|
|
Run dev/build and you should be set.
|
|
|
|
Usage Overview
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
See the documentation link for examples of PostgreSQL-specific functionality.
|
|
|
|
Known issues:
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When you're setting this up for the first time, you will need to manually create the database 'SS_project' or whatever it's called.
|
|
I haven't implemented the automatic database creation logic yet.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Most other modules probably don't work. There are many instances of MySQL-compatible backticks '`' littering existing modules,
|
|
and these need to be changed to double-quotes.
|
|
There may also be instances of MySQL-specific SQL queries which will need to be made database-agnostic where possible.
