Not planned PostgreSQL database support

[Alexander]

PostgreSQL is a great alternative to MYSQL so built-in in support for it would be nice.

While you can still write SQL directly, most data access is done through a builder object. The builder can control what related data is fetched, what conditions are applied (including against related data) and the order of the results. This can be done in any order.

This new approach they are taking for XF 2.x will make it possible to have support for various databases. Although I won't expect it to be there in near future, but it is step in the right direction, especially if the developers are encouraged to use builders and not raw SQL at all.
