[OFFTOPIC] Typo3 + Postgresql anyone?

I've googled a bit now, and it seems that I need ADODB for php + some
Typo3 extension.

Does anyone know of a howto that explains what
software I'll need for that, and where to get it?

Does anyone here have experience with Typo3+Postgresql that he might
want to share?

Typo uses migrations, so it should be database agnostic.

I believe Florian is referring to Typo3, a CMS
http://www.typo3.com/

Not Typo, a blogging app

Thanks for your answers, and sorry for the slightly off-topic post ;-)
greetings, Florian Pflug

Just for the archives, in the end I managed to install
Typo3 3.8.1 including the DBAL extension, which should
make it possible to use postgres instead of mysql.

Installing DBAL was a pain, because it seems to be included
in Typo3 4.0, and was therefore removed from the typo3 extension
cvs on sourceforge. I ended up going through the changelog, and
checking out a previous version (From somtime in december).

Typo3 worked, but lots of extensions didn't, so in the end
we'll have to use mysql :-(

Maybe the upcoming 4.0 version will solve this...
