  Actually, we're moving in the opposite direction. As LedgerSMB
diverges from SQL-Ledger, one of the big differences will be that we
will make proper use of PostgreSQL's features as well as rely more on
stored procedures. This means that porting to another DB (one that is
quite inferior, IMO), is something that would be considered wasted
energy to most of us.
You'd be better off porting SugarCRM to postgresql. That would be relatively simple compared to what it would involve to even attempt to port LedgerSMB or SQL-Ledger to mysql. At least you know going in that what you would be trying to accomplish (by adding postgresql support to SugarCRM) is actually possible.
