<p>HEAD is often broken on MySQL/MyISAM, SQLite and PostgreSQL as the testbot does not test under these environments.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Test on all major DBs instead of just MySQL.</p>

<p>A patch for PostgreSQL already exists, but does not seem to apply.</p>

<ul>
<li><del>1. Multiple PIFR Environments was tried out when Coder reviews were deployed, but contributed to instability of the testing infrastructure. The system currently does not scale up well with multiple environments, as all environments need to complete testing before a final test result is passed back to drupal.org. We do have advisory tests working for 'Coder' tests, which should apply across to different environments instead of plugins. (See <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/project_issue_file_review/issues/830838" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#830838: Allow configurable "Advisory" reviews</a></span>)</del> Hacky, but we're getting around this by tricking qa.d.o into thinking these tests are for a different project client.

<li>2. The non-mysql databases don't pass cleanly yet. See <a href="https://drupal.org/comment/8252251#comment-8252251">https://drupal.org/comment/8252251#comment-8252251</a></li>

<h3 id="summary-original-report">Original report by hass in the d.o Infrastructure Queue</h3>
<p>Is there any chance that patches are tested against all supported databases and not only mysql with innodb?</p>
