Its got a lot better over the years.
25+ years ago MySQL was fast and easy to admin but didn't have rollback and a bunch of other features. At the same time Postgres had the features but was horrible for performance and usability. Those days are LONG gone. Mysql obviously has all the features and PG is great to admin and the auto-vacuum works well out of the box.
I run a bunch of clusters of pg servers around the world and they need almost no maintenance. In place upgrades without needing to go the dump/restore route work well, 5 minutes on a TB sized database, just make very VERY sure you do a reindex afterwards or you will be in a world of pain.
- jesterson 3y ago> PG is great to admin What do you use for it? Is there anything like phpmyadmin for postgres with similar simplicity?
- elp 3y agoPretty much the same as mysql. https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients#Web_Clients https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients#Web_Clie...
- monospaced 3y agoComing myself from MySQL to Postgres I found PgAdmin (https://www.pgadmin.org/screenshots/#7 https://www.pgadmin.org/screenshots/#7) easy to use
- skeletal88 3y agoPgadmin has gotten lots of bad feedback. I'm using dBeaver or the IntelliJ sidebar to connect to the database. Dbeaver is more useful. But you can do everything from the command line. You use sql to write database migrations anyway, no?
- jesterson 3y agoI guess it's better now. Last time I tried years ago it was horrible
