Hi,
  We have a legacy application in place and i was tasked to port it to a web application.
Being a minimalist myself, CI is the first choice for me,  i know a little about PHP but the learning curve is not a problem.  I would just like to ask some questions.

  Is there a way to authenticate the user via postgresql authentication? (
$config[‘hostname’] = “localhost”;
$config[‘username’] = “myusername”;
)
  and if this is possible, will it be able to handle multiple database users with different privileges at the same time?  and can someone provide me with the code fragments?  this has to be done since the database is already setup and running smoothly.  there are about 100+ login roles with different restrictions/priviledges on the tables and about 800 users on the database.

thanks,
chic
