I use MySQL over postgres simply because that's what I started on 7(ish) years ago and I'm yet to be shown a feature postgres provides that makes the pain of switching tools worth it. Particularly considering the feature set of MySQL 5.1. I don't have any negative opinions of postgres, it's a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am keeping a close eye on the drizzle fork of MySQL[1] though. Their "MySQL without the bits I don't use" (like views, stored procedures, triggers, prepared statements and multiple encodings) is intriguing. -- James Healy <[email protected]> Tue, 26 Jan 2010 11:59:44 +1100 [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drizzle_(database_server) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
