OS not good for database

[Gaetano Mendola]

Hi all,
is very funny see Larry Allison commenting on MySQL
I'd like to see he commenting on Postgres I think he
couldn't say: "It's not used in transaction theory. It's
mainly used for searching."


Regards
Gaetano Mendola

Someone should tell Larry that Linux actually does predate Apache.

His comments about Linux being backed by companies seemed strange, as
MySQL is effectly owned by a company.

"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.

Red Hat runs their bugzilla on Postgres:

Source code is available from a link near the end of that page.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)

[David Siebert]

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.
