Having worked with many RDBMSs in the past, MSSQL is one of the very few that I would recommend for new installations.
Basically, my flow chart for DB selection:
Do you have an enterprise worth of money to burn on the deployment and maintenance? Oracle.
Are you deploying to Windows? MSSQL.
Else: Postgres.

- LyndsySimon 8y agoI don't disagree - but with an "enterprise worth"† of money to burn, you can hire someone like you to suffer through it! †: Now that I've used it twice, I move that we make an "enterprise worth" a unit of measurement of money, like a "Library of Congress" is a unit of measurement of storage.
