Hi:
I’ve been invited to participate in a forum which discusses technical issues for relational DBs used in the corporation. The 3 DBs they are discussing are Oracle, SQL-Server and MySQL. I’d like to introduce PG, but want to be able to address the “Why not use MySQL” questions when they arise. I know in the past there have been many comparisons between the 2 DBs but would like to know if there are any good, recent ones. Also, any “off-the-cuff” comments would be welcome, especially if you have used both DBs.
I suggest you take a look at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2575733/The-future-of-MySQL-The-Project http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2008/04/17/what-mysql-can-learn-from-postgresql http://www.commandprompt.com/files/mysql_learn.pdf http://people.planetpostgresql.org/mha/index.php?/archives/168-guid.html http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-04/msg00992.php Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake P.S. In short, we rock.
