Hi:
=20
I work for a large cor****ation that uses many different databases. I
used to use Oracle but then moved away, mainly because of the expense
and complexity. I wanted to stay on Linux, so I shy'ed away from
SQL-Server. Many others around here use MySQL, but I decided to go with
Postgres because at the time, it had more features and seemed more
stable and robust. I've been very pleased with PG so far.
=20
I've been invited to participate in a forum which discusses technical
issues for relational DBs used in the cor****ation. The 3 DBs they are
discussing are Oracle, SQL-Server and MySQL. I'd like to introduce PG,
but want to be able to address the "Why not use MySQL" questions when
they arise. I know in the past there have been many comparisons between
the 2 DBs but would like to know if there are any good, recent ones.
Also, any "off-the-cuff" comments would be welcome, especially if you
have used both DBs.
=20
Thanks in Advance
