Thread: Poll: Databases for Linux
As Jeff mentioned earlier today, there is a poll going on at http://www.linux.com that asks: Several high-quality databases are available for Linux. Which database, if any, does your company primarily use with its Linux servers? Right now, PostgreSQL is lagging MySQL 21% to 48% ... Who hasn't voted? :) Get out there and make yourself heard, eh?

Reading the web page recent comments, MySQL is getting blasted for lack of features. Glad to see it. I think we have them on the run. They are not advancing at the same speed as PostgreSQL, so it is only a matter of time. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Yesterday I spent a few minutes trying to choose the DB to vote for. I am using both Postgres and MySQL - different tasks require different aproaches and solutions - and I am satisfied with both DBs. There are niches for both of them. Finally I voted for Postgres - just because MySQL already has its votes :) Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://members.xoom.com/phd2/ phd2@earthling.net Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
