PostgreSQL for WordPress is a special 'plugin' enabling WordPress to be used with a PostgreSQL database.
|
||||
|
||||
### Description
|
||||
|
||||
PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP) gives you the possibility to install and use WordPress with a PostgreSQL database as a backend.
|
||||
It works by replacing calls to MySQL specific functions with generic calls that maps them to another database functions and rewriting SQL queries on the fly when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use this plugin, you should be aware of the following :
|
||||
- WordPress with PG4WP is expected to be slower than the original WordPress with MySQL because PG4WP does much SQL rewriting for any page view
|
||||
- Some WordPress plugins should work 'out of the box' but many plugins won't because they would need specific code in PG4WP
|
||||
#### Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Run Wordpress on your Existing Postgres Cluster
|
||||
- Run Wordpress with Georeplication with a Multi-Active Postgres instalation such as EDB Postgres Distributed, or CockroachDB for a more resiliant Wordpress Infrastructure
