Re: [GENERAL] OS not good for database
"at the time, everybody bought Microsoft's IAS; it was the dominant web server around—85% share, something like that. And Apache just utterly crushed them" What I want to know is when did Microsoft have 85% of the web server market? I sure don't remember that. Maybe he means 85% of the Windows Web server market. I really like Postgres and have found MySQL useful in the past but I do home that Oracle does well. From what I have seen they do have a good product and work hard at supporting it. I can tell you that I do wish that more open source projects supported Postgres. Things like PHPNuke. Yes I know that you "can" make it work but it is not easy to find the docs for. I also know that somewhere their is a version of bugzilla that runs on Postgres but I have not had much luck finding it. DBD::pg for Windows needs to be fixes ASAP. I use Linux on my servers but most of the workstations here are Windows. Frankly better support for Python, Ruby, and any of the other scripting languages under windows would really help. MySQl has more support in a Windows enviroment. I am talking client support not server support. Frankly runing postgres under windows has not practical application for me. I am sure that other people will find a lot of use for it though. Other than that I love Postgres.

His comments about Linux being backed by companies seemed strange, as MySQL is effectly owned by a company. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Re: [GENERAL] OS not good for database
I have downloaded it but it comes with no docs that I can find. No docs directory nothing. There are also people that have PHPNuke running with Postgres but that is also lacking in docs. I really do not fault Postgres or the developers for this. I will say that I feel that is why MySQL is gets a lot more press than Postgres. I really like using Postgres and I even wrote our call center app using it as the back end. The program does not store the audio but it a super call back list. It also handle our RMAs and tracks unresolved support questions. It only handles about 100,000 calls a year but postgres has never lost a call and the server keeps chugging away.
