I have been shouting at every place since 2009 that one should choose PostgreSQL instead of MySQL for serious projects for two reasons: 1. technical superiority 2. impending takeover of Sun by Oracle. At the time I migrated from MS-SQL to PostgreSQL against a lot of opposition for PostgreSQL from developers and Management. A few listened. Lets look at this as a great opportunity to dive into MySQL to PostgreSQL migrations for all upcoming professionals and entrenched ones too. (Silly, Its mostly production systems, of course money is involved here and yeah I am interested) They are happy and sleeping peacefully now. -- Regards, Rajagopal _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
