Yes. The ODBC drivers don't really care which database you access.

The only issue we have with Postgres is the dump/reload cycle when
upgrading database version. This is being fixed in the latest versions
though.

It works fine from Windows as well.

I agree with Steve, I've had a couple of people speak with me about
concerns of MySQL's new ownership, but I stand by the same reasons
Steve doesMySQL will not be going anywhere, and if it does,
someone'll just fork and keep it going under a new name.

[snippage and probably off topic]

Why are you worried re the future of MySQL and it's new owners Oracle.

 a) MySQL is open source so anyone can take a fork and continue
 development.

 b) Oracle own InnoDB already which is the main storage engine for
 MySQL.

 c) Oracle dont have any low end DB products for start-ups etc.
 Developer licenses may be free, but commercial use certainly isn't.

 d) MySQL is now a business division within Oracle and MySQL (.com)
 makes money.

 e) Google have contributed a lot of code for MySQL v6, I'm sure they'd
 take it on if Oracle in madness decided to drop it.

 f) I'm sure Oracle will push Oracle on Sun hardware/Solaris for high-end
 DB platforms and optimise the two so the performance stats look great
 and so they'll develop a migration platform so high-end MySQL users can
 easily migrate to Oracle when the need arises.

Say what?   I just looked at the 1.4 sources and PostgreSQL is NOT
supported as ODBC.  Those are direct library calls into libpq.

Bryant, I've been using PostgreSQL with asterisk since I started using
asterisk a number of years ago.  There have been exactly ZERO issues
with it.

In my experience, Asterisk plays much more nicely with MYSQL than
POSTGRESQL.  PostgreSQL is "supported" as ODBC vs "NATIVE" support for
MYSQL.  The "downside" that I'm aware of is that certain features of MYSQL
aren't directly portable to PostgreSQL (blobs for example).  Linux could
care less. IMO, Asterisk will be a larger hurdle than C#, vb.net or mono to
jump over.  This is all in 1.4/1.6; some changes may have modified these
answers regarding 1.8.

[asterisk-users] PostgreSQL is asterisk friendly with it?

2010-09-13 Thread Bryant Zimmerman
As I look to move our systems to version 1.8 I am looking at making a 
change from mySQL to PostgreSQL.

I love mySQL but am getting very concerned about i'ts new owners. 
Should I be able to move all my realtime stuff to PostgreSQL is it fully 
supported with asterisk?
Is there any down side to PostgreSQL over mySQL or will it be a big win?
Our database servers are linux but we access them from asterisk as well as 
windows are there any thing to be concerned with there?
I use c#, vb.net and mono to do a lot of our stuff are there any issues I 
should know about?

Thanks
Bryant
