I have a Drupal 5.1 installation with a PostgreSQL database and wanted to try some contributed modules (i.e. casetracker, views). Some of the contributed modules only support mysql at the moment. To avoid trying modules which are incompatible with the used database it would be very nice to be able to filter the modules download page by database compatibility (as you can already do for Drupal version number).

This would require to make the database compatibility information available by the module authors. Maybe this would also lead to a better support of databases other than mysql.

I hope the Project and Component for this issue is the right choice.

Bumping this for consideration in the redesign.

Not really part of the redesign. Also, Drupal 6 should remove most incompatibility with hook_schema().
