Dear Netdot community,
One of our initial design goals for Netdot was to make it DB-agnostic.
We aimed at supporting both MySQL and Postgres equally. However, our
production systems at the University of Oregon have always been based on
MySQL, so Pg support was somewhat lagging. It still is.
The sad truth is that it takes considerable time and effort to support
two backends.
At a recent discussion we talked about the possibility of supporting
only PostgreSQL in the future. There are a few things that make Pg
attractive: native support for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, table
partitions, etc. Pg is also not owned by Oracle ;-)
A decision like this can't be made lightly. We certainly do not want to
alienate administrators out there.
My hunch is that most people don't care about the backend, and if they
do, they prefer Pg. Am I right?
What do you all think?

IPv6 good. Oracle bad (particularly from a networking standpoint, I'm
not a DBA).

I think you're right about that. It's no harder to install and run a
pg daemon than it is mysql. I know a few DBAs and software developers
that prefer pg, given the choice between pg and mysql.

+1 for Postgres
The support for postgres was one of the reasons that I selected Netdot.
I was about to write functions to cast the numeric(40,0) address columns to
inet but if you're considering changing the backend.

I'm DB-agnostic as well, so I don't care. As long as it works... ;-)

Hi Carlos,

At this time, I use mysql (most likely because Netdot used it as
default). But, if you have a *faster* backend, I would prefer it.

Vincent
