- sergiotapia 8y agoIt really is incredible how we can get something as fundamental as a database for free that is so well made and production ready. Can you imagine if there was no postgres? We'd have to use mysql or oracle or gasp mssql.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 8y agoIf MSSQL wasn't tied to the Microsoft ecosystem, I don't think it would get such a bad rap - When I was a dev on the Microsoft product stack I found MSSQL quite a joy to use - reasonably fast, pretty powerful admin tools (SSMS) and pretty easy to interface with as long as you stayed within the MS ecosystem. I did find myself missing SSMS specifically when I moved to non MS stack development, since Postgres' 'official' open source options aren't nearly as robust. There are a few proprietary tools that can rival SSMS for Postgres, but then you are back into the realm of proprietariness.
