Installing PostgreSQL
 
Here are some installation hints for building and installing Postgres. They are written for Snow Leopard, but the basic steps are the same on any Unix-like system.
 
 
PHP PostgreSQL support
 
You need to build PHP with postgres support. If you build PHP from scratch you need to add something like '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' to your configure script.
 
 
ILIAS setup
 
Use your postgres user to create a database:
> createdb ilias
 
Now create a new ILIAS client and select "Postgres" as database type. The other setup steps should work like usual.

Performance Scalability
 
We currently have no idea how good/bad the ILIAS performance will be. Also it would be interesting how scalability can be achieved. Add any information/links related to these topics here.

• Postgres-XC, the only known PostgreSQL cluster solution which provides for both read and write scalability
