Most of the mysql holdouts I've encountered have a deeply ingrained notion that postgresql is hard (no idea where this idea comes from though) and because it tries to be reasonably correct, it must be "some academic nonsense" with no practical value for "just getting stuff done". Usually if you can force them to use postgres for a couple weeks they get over it and realize how bad mysql really is.
- mhurron 15y agoBecause PostgreSQL was 'hard', compared to when MySQL was younger. It just had a cli tool, it was to be managed in a more 'professional' way whereas MySQL made itself much easier to be installed and managed by even entry level and junior programmers who didn't want to know how to manage a database earlier on in its history.
