It baffles me when people treat RDBMS as swappable dumb datastore.

It baffles me when people treat RDBMS as swappable dumb datastore.
- y4mi 7y agoIt can be, if you're using an orm which abstracts everything sql away. You'll lose a lot of functionality and performance however. This might be an acceptable trade-off in some cases.
- guggle 7y agoI'd like to hear about thoses cases. Even when using an ORM, some feature just won't work with some backends. Example: Django has warnings all over it's documentation because "PostGreSQL has X feature but MySQL has not".
