It was a donkey! ;) Speaking of beasts of burden, I've been atop my elephant (Postgres) for about 3+ years now and I feel it's harder and harder to deal with idiosyncrasies of MySQL. MariaDB is better, much better. And at work, when we do have clients already on InnoDB, the first choice for upgrades is to move them off MySQL onto MariaDB. All fresh work starts with Postgres. Being BSD licensed, docs and all, it's the least painful legally and technically. http://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/ http://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/
