Without a doubt, the big majority of eZ Publish users are using Mysql as database. However, some are also using PostgreSQL or Oracle. We will therefore still support these databases
However, the number of sites out there running PostgreSQL with *clustering* is very very low. At the time of writing I am not aware of anyone who are using it, neither community members or customers.
In 3.10 we have have used quite much effort in fixing issues in the mysql clustering code. During this work it became apparent that doing the same with PostgreSQL and Oracle would require just as much effort per port as we spent on the Mysql solution. The solution now is very Innodb specific. Since the use of clustering with PostgreSQL is effectively non-existent we chose as we did. Ending clustering support in oracle was a harder choice though since this is infact used, but by a very few.
We may then later consider reintroducing cluster support on postgresql when we are on PHP5 and are using the database component in eZ Components.
