For your app, probably either MySQL or PostreSQL will work. I'm a happy MySQL user ... others are just as happy with PostgreSQL. I think it's almost what you're familiar with at this point. The differences between the two are getting smaller. MySQL traditionally was considered a very high speed database server lacking some advanced features such as transactions and triggers and some query types. Postgres was considered a slower, feature complete SQL implementation. Today, MySQL has more features that it lacked earlier - i.e. it's got transactions and additional queries, and so on. I understand that PostgreSql has also gotten faster than it used to be. So, at this point it's almost devolved into a holy war as opposed to there being any real difference. Personally I use MySQL because I find it easier to admin and configure on my FreeBSD systems than PostgreSQL, which I tend to have ongoing problems with in the spots I have to run it. I don't miss the couple of PostgreSQL features that mysql still doesn't have (but will in the near future). I'd really recommend that you look at developing the app so it is database independent - at least between MySQL and PostgreSQL. That way, you can swap from one to the other if you decide you don't like the one you pick initially. -forrest _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
