"$FOO is very good. So much so that many of us use it instead of $BAR in any case."
Your usage of FOO for some purposes is not a sufficient proof of its superiority to other solutions for all purposes.
- davidw 17y agoI think you have a parse error. I didn't write "Mysql sucks" or that Postgres is better for everything always. Google for Postgres vs Mysql if you're interested in pursuing the topic further - it's been done to death here and elsewhere. I just wanted to say that Postgres is a very valid alternative.
- spudlyo 17y agoCongratulations. In every discussion thread about MySQL there is always one guy who has to mention that PostgreSQL is a superior alternative to MySQL, thus reigniting yet another off-topic discussion of the relative merits of each. Today you are that guy. Today is your day to shine.
- randallsquared 17y agoIt was in response to a direct question. Sheesh.
- tdavis 17y agoPostgreSQL isn't superior to other solutions (in this case MySQL) for all purposes, but it's superior for enough purposes to make it a smart recommendation to those looking for alternatives to MySQL. I've used them both for roughly the same amount of time to varying degrees (5 years or so each) and since switching I've never used MySQL, except where required (hello, Wordpress).
