Are there any reasons not to use postgres, as a replacement for mysql?
- timc3 15y agoIf you have a DBA that knows MySQL extremely well and doesn't need to change. If you have a existing system running well, and the future roadmap of your development doesn't make staying with MySQL difficult. I am totally a Postgres fan, but there are many sensible reasons not to upset the apple cart.
- vidarh 15y agoIf you use multi-master replication, MySQL Cluster, or depend on properties of one of the alternative storage engines would be my big ones.
- jeltz 15y agoHopefully PostgreSQL-XC might fix this lack of good multi-master replciation in a couple of years. PostgreSQL-XC 1.0 will be released soon.
