Hi, Rob Wultsch <wultsch@gmail.com> writes: > "only get so far with... MySQL", so, yeah, about that... You are wrong. I mainly agree with most of what you said there, but let me refocus a little the context of my comment, because it somehow went out all the wrong way. My angle is that of application architecture. What part of the business logic do you want your database to handle for you, ensuring your constraints and a good concurrency pattern? How is that choice going to limit your ability to scale (up, out) ? With Oracle you are pretty quickly limited to the licensing model, with MySQL by the features available (example: you may have either transaction safety *or* full text search). In both cases if you have a demanding environment you will fix the problem in the application code rather than using features the "database product" of your choice is providing. PostgreSQL offers a breakthrough here because you get a huge set of business logic development oriented features and scaling is not limited by the licence costs. That was my point, only very poorly made. I hope it get out better this time. Regards, -- Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support
