hi all,

Is postgres source code compatible with mysql database?? If it is, could
someone could give me some links so that I can do that.

I want to hack into the postgres source code, but as I am comfortable with
mysql, I want to use the mysql database not postgres.

any references would be fine.

thank you

No. That's like asking if Unix is compatible with Windows, because you
want to hack on Unix but you're comfortable with windows and want to use it.

If you want to use mysql you should hack on it. If you want to use
postgres hack on it. But you can't mix those two.

cheers

I'm wondering if you are thinking that you can use Postgres as a Mysql
storage engine? While Mysql does has pluggable storage
engines...Postgres is not designed to be able to be used in this way
(that would be an interesting - but big and probably controversial
project to undertake).

So if you are more familiar with Mysql, why not hack Innodb?
