Assuming that a system should switch RDBMSs is a waste of time without knowing the reason is asinine. Using NDB clustering is a primary reason for switching. PostgreSQL is only currently PLANNING built-in replication, much less clustering. Not to mention that the existing system is not taking advantage of ANY PostgreSQL functionality that is not already present in MySQL. So gaining performance and clustering is reason enough for me. -----Original Message----- From: Lester Caine [mailto:lester@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 8:53 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: can you give me example of website using postgresql database?

More big MySQL sites have had problems in the past that Postgres, but the only reason to change TO MySQL is if it is going to give something in return. What do you think it will give you? Personally I'll stick with Firebird even though switching between engines is very simple in my case, using ADOdb ;) paragasu - http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/bitweaver_sites see if you can spot which engine is being used for which site :) MySQL is somewhat low on the list when it comes to testing :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
