 * Hi,
 * Welcome to the forum! 🙂
 * WP Data Access needs access to the data dictionary to read table, view, column
   and index structures. MySQL and MariaDB store this information in the information_schema
   database. It would surprise me to hear that PostgreSQL uses the same data dictionary
   structures. Does it? Sorry, but I have to ask as I have no experience with PostgreSQL…
 * It might be possible to create some kind of a bridge. If you can create an information_schema
   database, add the views needed for the plugin and map them to the right PostgreSQL
   data dictionary views, you would just need to install that bridge to use the 
   plugin with PostgreSQL.
 * Do you have the knowlegde to map these structures? I can provide a list with 
   information_schema views used by the plugin. You would not need to map all the
   views.
 * Best regards,
    Peter
