note 50494 deleted from ref.pdo by dbs

Note Submitter: Jeremy (php AT jermy dotnet) ---- Just in case it isn't clear for linux users - the instructions above only tell you how to compile the base PDO package, but not any of the drivers which are needed to allow you to actually use any paticular database. All the drivers are on PECL - see http://pecl.php.net/package-search.php?pkg_name=PDO_ - and they are downloaded and installed in an identical manner to the PDO package (which needs to be installed first, and appear before any driver-specific 'extension=' lines). For example, to enable PostgreSQL support, download the package from http://pecl.php.net/get/PDO_PGSQL and run the commands as above: untar the file, run 'phpize && ./configure && make && make install' (last command as root), then add 'extension=pdo_pgsql.so' to php.ini.
