MySQL or PostgreSQL

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:04:23

In a nutshell from someone I have faith in

[MikeSeth] says: if you need speed and not features, mysql is the answer - as would be the case for most web sites
[MikeSeth] says: but if you want to do serious data processing (e.g. maintaining materialized copies of analyses you perform on large sets of data, using stored procs/triggers etc) then mysql is poor
