Boom multi install profile doesn't work with Postgres DB

Hi, we recently purchased Boom multi and after a lot of struggling I realized that the auto install with the demo profile does not work when the backend of the site is PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. I get an error after install and none of the modules and the template get activated, and the site just looks like a vanilla drupal install. I tried to re-install with a MySQL backend and it is working perfectly. We really want to use Postgres and NOT MySQL for this site.

Hi, you simply have to look at the php installation script. It uses functions like mysql_query instead of Drupal's db_insert, db_select, etc. So it is clear that this script is really not adapted to work with a PostgreSQL backend.

I know very well how to install Drupal with a Postgres DB. It is the installation of your template that I have issues with.
