PostgreSQL.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThat's like me saying "LibreOffice, where are you?" and you saying "AbiWord".
- quesera 14y agoIs yours an informed opinion? Postgres is an extremely high quality piece of software.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI think you misunderstood me. It wasn't a good analogy, though. They were proposing an alternative when I want a fork of what I already use.
- quesera 14y agoApologies, I did misunderstand. I cut a bunch of apps (and their large databases) over from MySQL to Postgres several years ago. It was tedious, but I've never had cause to regret it in any way. When MySQL became Oracle I was very relieved to not have to think about the implications.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoWell, personally, my favourite database is SQLite. I don't build large apps, although for many-read-few-write-type sites SQLite isn't so bad.
- quesera 14y agoSQLite is awesome too. I use it whenever I can.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI personally like its simplicity, like the fact it's a single file and no messy authentication to deal with, and the simple data type set. And also the docs are much more readable to me than for MySQL.
