RE: MySQL - PostgreSQL migration
Title: RE: MySQL - PostgreSQL migration And I am one of those scapegoats, ;-) On a side-note, there are enormous numbers of people whose entire career consists of Oracle DBA or Oracle Consultant, many of whom are entirely ignorant of concepts I would consider fundamental to the role. I wonder if there's anyone who is an official Postgress DBA who is not really doing a load of sysadmin/developer work as well? Perhaps PG shops are enlightened enough not to require a scapegoat for database problems? ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Sorry, there was a comma @,', or 'or' mising in that sentence! Be careful with your terminology. Oracle is Oracle; SQL Server is Microsoft's RDBMS. Having said that, the main commercial benefit is that there are a hell of a lot more Oracle shops in the world than PostgreSQL shops. ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

RE: MySQL - PostgreSQL migration
Title: RE: MySQL - PostgreSQL migration Hhhhm, I'm worried by statements like this :- How close is PostgreSQL to Oracle in terms of its SQL capabilities? It's done everything that I've expected it to. Triggers and SPs can be written in several languages with PostgreSQL. Including Perl, assuming you're entirely mad. Actually, it's not _that_ bad, but still not something I'd want to use in production. Is PostgreSQL ever going to be a database you'd bet the company on ?

I have. I won. I wouldn't use the Perl-embedded-statements in Postgres in a production server, because there's no equivalent of mod_perl, so you're stuck with interpretation overheads. But Postgres itself? No problem. Roger ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
