Thread: Postgres vs. the rest
Hello, I am looking into PostgreSQL and am looking for general functional information, as well as comparisons to other DBMSes, specificallySQL Server and MySQL. I'd be interested in any general info anybody has. It'd be even better if you were in theSeattle area, so I could talk to someone locally. :) I'm curious in that some of the advocacy documents talk about PostgreSQL being 'object-relational'. What does this mean exactly? Also, are there any native .NET data providers available for PostgreSQL?

If your really heavily invested in ms tools (especially visual basic, sql server is not a bad choice). vs. oracle: use pg, unless you are heavily invested in oracle toolset. > Server and MySQL.

What does this mean exactly? Not much. It sort of means 'has features to facilitate mapping to an OO application paradigm). More and more, though, pg is becoming a sql dbms. However, it is very programmable. Maybe somebody with more experience can answer this one better. > Also, are there any native .NET data providers available for PostgreSQL? Check npgsql. Merlin
Have a look at "Comparison of different SQL implementations" http://troels.arvin.dk/db/rdbms/ В Чтв, 28.10.2004, в 20:08, Derek Dexheimer пишет: > Hello, > > I am looking into PostgreSQL and am looking for general functional > information, as well as comparisons to other DBMSes, specifically SQL > Server and MySQL.
