why is mongodb required, if postgresql or mysql are an option #1325

we're starting to look at setting up a formhub instance. we'd prefer to just have it backed by postgresql, since we're already running it on our server. wondering if there's an easy way to decouple from mongodb in the install process?

Mikel, formhub stores raw submissions in xml in the SQL dB, and then stores an expanded document version of each submission in Mongo. Most view code is written off of mongo. So there is no easy way to decouple things, at least if you want to have most of the site working. On May 28, 2014 6:09 PM, "Mikel Maron" notifications@github.com wrote:
