Description

Does multisite_login only work with MySQL? I tried it on a server using MySQL and it's giving numerous errors. Also, the README file says to share users tables across databases, which I believe is only supported in MySQL using a database prefix:

$db_prefix = array(
'default' => 'main',
'users' => 'db1.main',
'sessions' => 'db1.main',
'role' => 'db1.main',
'authmap' => 'db1.main',

You would be the first PG tester. I'd be happy to work with you to tweak queries to get them functioning. I did a quick scan and here's the only ones that I can see that might be a problem (Though I've never actually used PG, so I wouldn't know for sure):

Not sure if this sub-select will cause problems:
db_query('DELETE FROM {multisite_login_sessions} WHERE sid NOT IN(SELECT sid FROM {sessions});');

I'm not sure why I have the backquotes in this one but that will break PG:
db_query('SELECT s.sid, s.uid, s.hostname, s.timestamp FROM `'. $other_db .'`.sessions s WHERE s.sid = "%s"', $sid)

This one might need to be written in long-form:
db_query('INSERT INTO {multisite_login_sessions} (sid) VALUES("%s")', $sid);

I don't think PG can do REPLACE. This one is in hook_enable:
db_query('REPLACE INTO {multisite_login} SET uid = %d, pass_hash = "%s"', $uid, $pass_hash);

If you can run those in isolation and see which ones work and which ones don't, then we can alter accordingly.

Regards to your "can PG do multisite" question I found this page here:
http://drupal.org/node/45332
http://drupal.org/node/290768
your Google skills are probably better than mine.

Thanks. I'm not sure I'll have time to look at this. At the end of the day, we may use ldap authetication instead. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks

I reworked the queries that I know for sure would not work. For the others I'll need someone to try it out who uses PG.
