Status of database abstraction (PostgreSQL support)

I had a look at the current SVN code and it seems that some work was done about database abstraction. Is there any documentation about the current status and guidelines?

I'm strongly determined on make Cacti working on PostgreSQL, how can I help the developers team?

We have received a patch recently to do this. However, we have not had any time to integrate it to date. There are also some things that have to be done so that PostgreSQL's lack of a few calls that are in MySQL, will not affect system performance with some rather large plugins. PostgreSQL lacks some very efficient SQL methods that are present in MySQL.

If you would like to look at the committed code and work with us to make the specific calls as efficient as MySQL's. I would be glad to sign you up. I can send you the contributed code.

Just as a side: At System2007, there were requests for Postgres support as well as for Oracle, sigh ...
