Re: Can we use Postgres DB with DNN.

of course you can use ANY datanase, you only need to create your own data provider for the core framework and all extensions with data access being used. Creating a provider for the core should take an experienced database developer only a couple of months of work and you for sure will earn the gratitude of the community (and compassion as well).... From business perspective, I would stick to MS SQL Server Server, for most small and medium sites, free SQL Server Express is working fine.

In fact there is a provider in Codeplex.

Never tested it. Can't see any reason to use it.

If you need to talk to a PG database for a special purpose you can always do it for just that purpose.
