different database types for plugin applications.
Hello,

their are d9ifferent modules available for the most modern databases, I mean there are ORACLE.pm PG.pm MYSQL.pm and ODBC.pm

Plugin applications like Adcycle works only with Mysql.
If I use an other database (for example Postgres), is it possible to get Adcycle working as a linksSQL plugin with postgres??? Or better, does the Driver also translate any MySQL query from Adcycle to something that Postgres know???

No.

Adcycle still manages and makes all it's own calls.

All the plugin does is provide a wrapper (interface) between the Links display and search routines and Adcycle.

Hi,

The plugin won't make Adcycle work with Postgres, however you can run Links SQL on Postgres, and Adcycle on Mysql together just fine.

Cheers,

Alex
