To expand some... MySQL is a wicked fast db with some limitations. I am using it right now for a project and I'm really wishing it supported views, for example. To the good, it is really, really fast, light and stable.
Postgre has many more features and is supposed to be a lot faster than it used to be with the most recent version. I have seen benchmarks that support this, and some that refute it. But in any case, it does have a lot better feature set than MySQL - particularly for handling dates. It also supports views and subqueries. PG has a really slick GUI too: PG access. You really can't go wrong with either one, but there are advantages/disadvantages to each depending on the project you are planning. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of wim >Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 9:06 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [expert] databases for linux > > >PostgreSQL and MySQL are databases for Linux. > >-- >Kind regards, > >Wim De Hul >Belgacom Belbone >-------------------------------- > Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mobile : +32 479 952004 > Ripe : WDH25-RIPE > Registered Linux User: #260015 >-------------------------------- > > >Harold Hartley wrote: > >> I was wondering how many database software is there available for linux >> and what the names of them may be.. >> >> Harold >> >> >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? >> Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >> > > > > _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
