Heck, I see lots of circles where they wouldn't trust mysql for an
enterprise application so it seems clear that you are not talking about
stability or performance but rather familiarity and the amount of trust
you have in what you know.
Let's see, mysql crashes (elcheapo hardware, happens once in a while)
but tables containing hundreds of thousands of rows survive intact on
reboot.
Mysql is OK if you don't really need a relational database -
particularly if you can put everything in a single table at least for
the frequent queries.
Could you do that with postgresql? Nah.
I don't recall ever having a problem with postgresql.
Did I mention you can
just copy myisam files to another box and even if it has another OS so
long as they are on the same cpu platform and use it without trouble?
Don't see why that would be a problem for postgresql either as long as
the database wasn't running when you copied the file and the posgresql
revs were similar.
I guess I should try to make a test against openldap/fedoraDS and see
how they fare.
Even though I posted those performance benchmarks, I'd want to do some
serious testing before trusting it. I've had my share of problems with
things based on Berkeley DB too, but perhaps those problems are fixed now.
