Обсуждение: Open source database comparison
Hi, I saw this open source database comparison: http://www.devx.com/dbzone/Article/29480?trk=DXRSS_LATEST I'm quite new to PostgreSQL features, but shouldn't PostgreSQL already have "SQL stored procedure"? Is "SQL stored procedure" something different from the usual stored procedure? And it also mark PostgreSQL as having no full-text search. Isn't Tsearch2 being used to do that, even though it's not on by default? I'm just concerned if the matrix is giving the wrong info about PostgreSQL :) Regards, Leonard Soetedjo

I already responded with a bunch of other stuff.

And why does PG have it? Whats the point in havig it? ;) And: "External Java Procedures: Support for external Java procedures means that database developer can call Java class methods from stored procedures or functions." Actually there is PL/Java so this should be [x] for PG too.

Another good question is why aren't they comparing 8.1 if they're comparing MySQL 5.0?

A good question would be : Would you think if a MySQL employee made this comparision, would it be neutral?

A single database file an architecture where all of the space lives within one or a small set of physical OS files. E.g.instead of having operating system level files for each table, and index, it is all stuffed within a single file. Thisis not important for big database systems that are professionally managed like the typical PostgreSQL installation. However, it is hugely important for embedded type scenarios. An example is something like Quicken. Its database is allwithin a single file (foo.qdf IIRC), which is awesome. Having a single housing eliminates an entire class of user errors,and is a big win from a support perspective. The classic user screw up is a botched restore, where a user restoresall of the data files (*.dat) but leaves all of the index files (*.idx) because he didn't know what they were. Supportguys get this kind of incident all the time... I haven't a clue why the authors listed PG (and the others) a having the feature. -----Original Message----- From: Tino Wildenhain [mailto:tino@wildenhain.de] And whats: "Single Database File"? And why does PG have it? Whats the point in havig it? ;)

SQL stored procedure I think 2) refers to procedures running outside transaction, that are indeed missing in PostgreSQL. -- marko
