> Some people have quite a dependency on Postgres Our dependency on Postgres is more to do with it being a lot safer with our data. It doesn't silently fail, the transactions have a better failure mode, and as previously pointed out it handles ALTER in production a LOT better than MySQL. The combination of safety, speed/efficiency in schema/index alteration, and its increasingly good performance are why we depend on it. The rest is just gravy.
