Re: [Air-l] : postgresql and mysql

I think the "problem" with postgresql is that it is an enterprise level system. Enterprise level systems require a lot of expertise to install, maintain, and program. On the other hand they are more stable and efficient.

PostgreSQL is actually LESS trouble than mysql. ;) I'd argue that they're both on a fairly similar playing field - both unix daemons, both intended to have someone paying attention to what's up with them, both relatively reliable. Postgresql just doesn't, um, do things like *lose all of your data* periodically.

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Arguments_in_favour_of_PostgreSQL - I'm convinced.

Good. :) --elijah
