Can I use a database other than MySQL, like Postgresql, SQLite, Oracle?
Piwik only works on Mysql, where all the development and testing is done. Supporting multiple databases is trickier than it sounds and requires much more testing, coding… therefore human resources, which are very limited. However we would welcome any patches in this area, if external developers decide to add this functionnality in Piwik. As a start, please see the Using Alternative Databases brainstorm on the wordpress wiki for more information. Also, there is a beta non official posgresql port built by a community member, more information about Postgresql Piwik on this ticket.
