Anybody know of any recent comparisons made between the two? I'm in the process of buying a new telephony related software suite, and I'm getting mixed advice. Some say that MSSQL is _much_ better/faster than PostgreSQL, and others say the opposite.
The vendor is more or less indifferent, with a small plus to the Microsoft solution because, well, they are a Microsoft shop. The sales-people all bang on about MSSQL being the superior choice, and PostgreSQL being a "toy compared to the Microsoft RDBMS". The tech people though are divided into three groups: One group says the two systems are more or less equal, another group who says the Microsoft database is superior and finally a group who speaks highly of PostgreSQL. I've not been able to convince them to send me some actual benchmark numbers, which actually should turn on quite a few alarms, come to think about it. :o) Maybe you guys are aware of some recent generic tests/comparisons between the two systems?
