Just wondering if anyone has PostgresSQL and MySQL running on the same box. Is it possible? Is it practical?

We've had zero requests for it, but I've been looking into it a bit and wouldn't mind testing a few scripts that call for it.

If anyone's done it, did they try it on a CPanel server, and is there any wierd funky CPanel issue I should be aware of.

Sure, we run both MySQL and PostgreSQL on our servers. There is not a lot demand for PostgreSQL though.

Thanks.

It's mainly for ourselves as there's a few things I've seen I wouldn't mind installing. I was just making sure it was going to work before I start installing.

One thing to be aware of is PostgreSQL security. On most default installation, any local user can connect to any database, even ones not belong to the user. Keep this in mind if you decide to offer PostgreSQL.
