[SOLVED] Database backend

I'm looking for a simple CMS for our consulting company's Web site and cms made simple looks good to me. Can I use SQLite on the back end instead of postgres? I've used both for a dozen or so years, and for the small site we have I think SQLite would be simpler and easier to maintain.
TIA,
Rich

CMSMS doesn't support sqlite at the moment. Just MySQL and Postgres.
I personally recommend MySQL because many of the independently contributed modules (including ALL of mine) do not support Postgres.

I suspected as much.
I've been using postgres a long time so I'll use that with cmsms. I don't need to install, learn, and maintain a third rdbms.
Quick question: where do I install the pgsql-php driver?
Thanks,
Rich

Hello Rich,

Although CMS Made Simple uses Adodb database abstraction, according to this
list, it looks as SQLite is not supported.
Morever, considering that several add-on modules are also not
supported, I'd say that using MySQL is the only safe bet.
