My choice was based on the fact that web requires a high number of reads and normally far fewer writes. The speed of MySQL in read is very fast compared to PostgreSQL. Where it comes to accounting, high transactions and such applications I will continue to use PostgreSQL till MySQLv5 becommes

Re: Backup and Maintenance Strategies

2005-06-25 Thread Michael Kruckenberg
I don't know how big your tables are, and if you can withstand any downtime. Because we're using MyISAM tables, we use mysqlhotcopy, which locks the database as it copies the tables to another location. Once that's been done you can rely on your filesystem backup to keep copies of the data

But if you follow Partha's approach, you will need to make sure that the only inserts to the table occur via the view. Nothing in the definition of the view itself prevents a user with the necessary authority from inserting directly into the table. You'll need to ensure that your GRANTs don't
