Привет!
That's interesting. I actually never used Postgres on production
environments, so... How often does it melt? And is there a known reason
or it's just a matter of *luck*?
My opinion is that Mysql is after all nothing more than an ISAM file
system, which can be queried by SQL. And it's more than enough for most
small sized projects.
I dunno about InnoDB and BDB, but once referential integrity is the
issue I'd move straight to Oracle and avoid the hassle of debugging some
new engine features myself. At least, in a production environment.
Oracle will also perform much better than anything else, if properly
configured and maintained. But moving to such an environment requires a
full time administrator if you do not want your performance to downgrade
dramatically after some time.
In a web environment usually people do not want to spend that much
money, so actually most of the stable stuff will probably remain on the
ISAM file systems for a while more. After all it works, right?
