Can't answer for Quora, but I know why I'm not: activation energy. My team and I know MySQL pretty well, and we can stand by our decision to use it. PostgreSQL we can't.

- mahmud 16y agoPostgres is easy to convert to from MySQL, if you keep that conversion cheatsheet handy. However, mastery of its performance quirks (all servers have quirks) can take years. It took me 48 hours to convert to it, 10 months later and I don't feel like I know much about it.
