The problem I think is they typically try to go ahead and reinvent the entire RDBMS as well.
It's not clear to me why postgres hasn't simply grown a whole array of frontends..
- marcus_holmes 7y agoAgree totally. I had to climb the painful learning curve of psql because none of the front ends worked the way I wanted for some reason or another. Of course, having learned psql, I'm now scathing of anyone wanting a front end... hmm... maybe that's why ;)
- setr 7y agoI was actually thinking about the lack of SQL alternatives using the postgres engine; for example, why is datalog not simply available as an extension? Or MySQL syntax? PG implements a wide array of alternatives to PL/pgSQL (including standard programming languages eg python), but for whatever reason these SQL-alts never seem to consider being layered on top of the postgres engine. However, the lack of GUI frontends is also really weird. I don't see why it'd be harder to support than any other DB, and afaik pg has gotten fairly popular..
- marcus_holmes 7y agotrue, why isn't there a MongoDb alternative that just wraps jsonb on Postgres?
