Thread: mysql vs postgresql

mysql vs postgresql

From
Johan Segernäs
Date:

We're going to build up some dynamic pages here, and right now we're using postgresql
and som php that a consult made for us.

My question and wonders are;
They say here and there that MySQL i _alot_ faster than PostgreSQL on SELECT-queries.
Convince it isn't. Or convince me i should use PostgreSQL.

We'll mostly have 'exam-tests' with questions/answers, and of course login before you
do the test.

Is there any good compares between mysql/postgres and maybe ms-sql or something?

 May be faster, but is really faster for multi-access to data (more session
in one time)?

 Yes, see postgreSQL.org mailing lists archive or greatbridge.com -- this
is very popular theme :-)

BTW, anywhere at http://sourceforge.net is OpenSource database test too.

I saved two recent relivant emails from my mailbox at:

    ftp://candle.pha.pa.us/pub/postgresql/mysql.mbox

Not sure what to do with it.  Anyone?

You don't have the DocBook 3.1 DTD installed at a place where jade can
find it.  It might be that you don't have it at all or that the catalog
files aren't set up correctly.  The Developer's Guide (on the web site)
contains some information about this.
