26, RAG and PostgreSQL?

[J_Roeleveld]

Looking at the changelog for the 26.x pre-release, I notice:
RAG: allow installation for all MariaDB/MySQL versions, but do NOT fail, if egw_rag/vector table is not existing

Is this an indication that EGroupware will drop support for PostgreSQL?

[RalfBecker]

We will not remove the PostgreSQL support, but for new apps like the RAG using new DB features where we have no abstraction for, I choose to not implement it right away.

I know there is the pg_vector extension, implementing a vector column type, unfortunately the syntax is different from MariaDB, even MySQL uses a different syntax for the vector type

Not sure what the state of our PostgreSQL support is: are we still stuck on that ancient version, before they dropped the OID support, or did the new ADOdb version now supports newer PostgreSQL versions.

With the old version, pg_vector is also not supported …

Which version do you use?

Last time I tested a newer version it failed.
Currently, I am maintaining 11.22 for eGroupware.

All other databases are running on newer versions with upgrades to 18.1 planned.

That the state of my knowledge too, thought ADOdb says they are not aware of a problem with newer versions (and we updated to a recent ADOdb version).

All other databases are running on newer versions with upgrades to 18.1 planned.

I just looked up pg_vector requires PostgreSQL 13+, so nothing can be done for 11
