[thelist] Postgre SQL?

[Beau Hartshorne]

Taken from http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001112.php3 :

"I've worked with Postgres quite a bit in the past and had occasional but
serious problems with reliability under some circumstances (Geocrawler.com
runs on Postgres and had a tendency to melt down every few months, losing
some data in its 10GB database). So I began evaluation of Postgres 7.1 with
some trepidation. My benchmarks in July showed PG 7.0 to be clearly slower
than MySQL and I outlined several limitations that I found annoying. Still,
Postgres has dozens of advanced features that MySQL lacks (triggers, foreign
keys, rules, subselects, views...) and was well worth investigating."

Cheers,

Beau

Check out their web site for more info: http://www.postgresql.org. I've been
using it and it's great for web environments.

"postgre SQL"? it's open source, linux related...
