We all ran back to Postgres and realized life wasn't so bad?

  Meh, MySQL is by far the dominant in that sector. RethinkDB is exactly what I need for most of my projects, relational, real time, document storage.

    By "that sector" you mean SQL databases as opposed to NoSQL? I'm finding Postgres' JSON column types to be very useful in working with NoSQL-y document structures.

      I mean free "open source", SQL databases.

        At least Postgres has proper SQL support and can handle CHECK constraints.
      • untog 10y ago
        I'd argue that Postgres doesn't belong just in that sector, then, given that it can be used for many of the roles Mongo/Rethink are used in.

      I'm rewriting all of my large amount of RethinkDB client code using PostgreSQL right now (including using their JSONB and LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality), and loving it.
