TYPO3 Core

Yes, will have a look. I suspect quite a few broken links since the move to mysqli

thanks for looking into this!

i have a question however: postgres is listed as a supported database in TYPO3's system requirements. but at the moment there are some critical problems (e.g. install tool, extension manager, EXTBASE, etc.) effectively making TYPO3 more or less unusable with postgres atm. what i'd like to know is the type of commitment of the TYPO3 core-devs regarding postgres-support, -QA, -testing, etc. and also the future plans of the TYPO3-team regarding postgres-support. because if postgres is listed as a supported DB, i would expect a stable version of TYPO3 to be tested with postgres before release and thus work out-of-the-box, otherwise maybe that support should be listed as EXPERIMENTAL. i'm also asking this, because i'm evaluating the usage of postgres in a production environment. how would you evaluate this as a TYPO3-insider?

To be honest the commitment and tests regarding other databases than MySQL is extremly low.

Extbase is preparing queries without the TYPO3 abstraction layer making extremely complicated (and double work) to then parse again the query to try to make it DBAL compliant. As such I personally don't consider Extbase shipped with Core as DBAL-compliant. As more and more modules and extensions (in core) are written in Extbase...

So at the moment each new version of TYPO3 is having less support for other DBMS. We would like to invert the tendancy but we will need force coming from DBAL users who are unfortunately not very present in the mailing lists and in gerrit reviews.
