mysql table creation syntax change The MySQL people gratuitously changed the syntax for specifying the storage engine a while back and the current alpha drops support for the old syntax. This patch changes TYPE to ENGINE in the mysql backend and updates the documentation to show that we require MySQL 4.0.18 because of that. I also removed a note in the mysql docs about a bug in InnoDB that has been fixed as of the required version. This fixes [SF#1727529]

==========================
PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 7.x - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg

   It is recommended that you use at least version 1.1.21

Some advice on setting up the postgresql backend may be found at:

  http://www.magma.com.ni/wiki/index.cgi?TipsRoundupPostgres


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. Edit the ``test/test_postgresql.py`` database connection info if
you wish to test against a different database.

The test database will be called "rounduptest".
