- netcraft 10y agonot sure if it was intended, but the article is discussing MSSQL not MYSQL. I think MYSQL has a popularity advantage over PGSQL because of a long tail of historical reasons, but this is just my opinion.
- collyw 10y agoIts a bit like PHP, its easy to install and get started compared to PG (I need to look up the docs every time I do a PG install to get the initial users started - Mysql often offers me that from the OS package manager).
- brkpn 10y agoIt's easy to misread MS SQL in the title as MySQL... The article isn't about MySQL.
- um_ya 10y agoWordpress probably accounts for most of Mysql's popularity.
- collyw 10y agoI have been using MySQL for a number of years. I will probably use Postgres for any new projects I start. But my current work is maintaining a system written by someone else, so MySQL it is. Its not that bad a database, but there are enough quirks to it that I feel that PG would be a better choice.
