MySource Matrix: a CMS apart

MySource Matrix appears to be a comprehensive and heavy-duty PHP CMS, but it presents one slight problem: its database must be PostgreSQL or (I think) Oracle - not MySQL. I have nothing against PostgreSQL except that I have never used it and most hosting firms don’t offer it. In fact, one of my hosting setups is on a virtual private server that includes PostreSQL, but the hosting firm knows nothing about it and does not want to get involved. My main hosting firm does not offer it. So I have opened a cheap shared hosting account in order to give this CMS a whirl.

    MySource Matrix won’t run on shared hosting, it would kill it. Matrix is an enterprise level CMS.

    You may be right, although I am talking only about an experimental site with zero traffic. I have asked my contacts at squiz.co.uk whether I can expect it to work in this setup.
