I have written a little PHP+postgres forum for benchmarking purposes, to see how fast postgres could go. It has basic forum features, like forums (duh), topics, posting, pagination, watching topics, topic & post count, display newest topic and post in topic & forum pages, templates, topics pagination in O(1) not O(number of pages), etc. I also wrote a companion benchmark script which tortures the server with HTTP requests, viewing and posting.

it answered my "how fast can it go" question : more than 500 dynamic pages/second on a Core 2. Most of the load is PHP : postgres could handle much, much more than this.

If people are interested in this as a benchmark, I can write some docs (and make a MySQL version).
        If you want to use it as a base for your forum, you're welcome.

        Who wants the source ?

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a forum with mason and postgresql. What is the
typical database schema of a forum (threaded or flat) application?

Thanks,
