Use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. SQlite in a production environment on anything but the most database-light site ever will make you cry.

Use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. SQlite in a production environment on anything but the most database-light site ever will make you cry.
- berlinbrown 19y agoI don't understand this MySQL FUD. Google has done some amazing things with it. Google core, YouTube for example. I wish you would explain MySQL over PostgresSQL with mention of MySQL version,etc.
- inklesspen 19y agoIt's not FUD. Most of us just like to use a database whose developers didn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern age. Remember when MySQL claimed foreign keys and relational integrity were useless? Sure, they now support referential integrity and transactions in InnoDB, but MyISAM is still the default, because it's faster. I have no idea why you're claiming that 'Google core' (whatever that's supposed to mean) uses MySQL; the only homegrown Google project known to use MySQL is AdWords. Anyhow, jamongkad wanted an alternative to MySQL, so I gave him one.
- jamongkad 19y agoThanks for the alternative. I was looking at Postgres a few months back, didn't quite understand the documentation at first(although I didn't devote much time to understanding it back then) but it's worth a 2nd try.
