Thread: why jasperserver has been changed from MySQL to PostGreSQL
Why jasperserver has been changed from MySQL to PostGreSQL
In previous versions of jasperserver, MySQL was the supporting database but in the jasperserver 4.5 version it changed to PostGreSQL.
My question is that why jasperserver changed its mind to PostGreSQL. Which of the features of PostGreSQL are powerful than MySQL?
Could you please give me a clue?
Thanks and Regards

Postgres is more SQL-compliant and tends to work better at larger scale than MySQL. It also is more extendable. For more details, see http://www.postgresql.org/about/, and to answer your real question definitively, instead of just speculating, ask the jasperserver people themselves. :)
