Hi,
This might be a little OT, but I thought I'd pose the question anyway...
Let me know if it's OT and I'll take it elsewhere.
I'm a little confused about the whole database thing. I mean, I
understand them and know what they are but which one should really be
used for mission critical applications?
You ask the folks at MySQL they say there stuff it awesome and has
available commercial support, something that "other" enterprise open
source databases don't have. Yet, PostgreSQL is said to be much more
reliable and robust. (Just different opinions--some from friends some
from research.)
So, my question is this...
I'm a beginning Perl programmer trying to choose a database to learn and
(eventually) use in mission critical applications. And I'm looking for
something that quite scalable.
The three databases I've read a little about are: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
BerkeleyDB.
Can anyone offer some advise here?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
~ Tom
