PostgreSQL vs Mysql

I am doing some consulting for a lawfirm. They have a program called
time matters which is database driven. The software vendor says that
it works with postgreSQL but they were not sure if it will work with
mySQL. They will only proivde a trial version of the software if they
purchace it first.And that is all the help they offer. The problem is
that the firm does not want to do this without knowing that it works,
understandable because it is expensive.I have pretty good experience
with mySQL but I have always stayed away from the postgreSQL so my
question is...does postgreSQL work the same in the manner of SQL calls
and such as mySQL? I understand that other things are done like adding
user and such are different but I was wondering if the underlying
process was the same....The program needs to replicate changes fairly
frequently between three servers. Any help that anyone can provide
would be great Thanks!

A few days ago I have installed and tested PostgreSQL, becouse I realy need UTF-8 support and subselects. I thought that PostgreSQL will be as good as MySQL but also will give me that features, which aren't availble in MySQL. Well, after installation and moving my MySQL dbs into PostgreSQL I decided to...

Beside its an opensource and supported by community, what's the fundamental differences between PostgreSQL and those high-price commercial database (and some are bloated such as Oracle) from software giant such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and Sybase? Is PostgreSQL reliable enough to be used for high-end commercial application? Thanks

Yes, I know you've seen the above subject before, so please be gentle with the flamethrowers. I'm preparing to enter a discussion with management at my company regarding going forward as either a MySql shop or a Postgresql shop. It's my opinion that we should be using PG, because of the full ACID support, and the license involved. A consultant my company hired before bringing me in is pushing hard for MySql, citing speed and community...

Hello, I have changed DB from MySQL to PostgreSQL. When I have run my application on PostgreSQL it was disaster - it was much slower than MySQL... I have tried to change PG configuration file etc.. no luck. After many long days of thinking what is wrong I have made several tests with "EXPLAIN" statement, and to my amusement there was many SeqScan - MySQL didn't show that things. I have made some changes in PG db structure (new indexes...

Hi all; A few years ago, I set about porting a PHP application from MySQL to PostgreSQL, after realizing that MySQL wasn't going to be able to handle it. In order to do this, I built a light, fast database abstraction layer which conforms to the behavior of the MySQL functions in PHP. This means that a large amount of porting work could be made simple using this porting layer if the application was originally used PHP's native MySQL...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
