I've had a problem selling the reliability angle as our instances of MySQL have never crashed. We have drawn the line in the sand that ALL new apps get Postgres by default, but we've been turned down on funding to migrate all old apps. The belief is that they're "doing just fine". I'd love to see every single one of them moved. I know we'd hear squawking from the few folks that know how to use MySQL Workbench as it is a very pretty interface, but it'd be worth it.
- Lewisham 13y agoWell, if they aren't crashing, and the apps are already built, then aren't they really running just fine? What value do you buy by switching legacy apps that aren't being actively developed to Postgres?
- smacktoward 13y agoYou can cut down on support expenses by not having to have MySQL expertise on staff. Of course, if your DBAs (or whatever passes for a DBA in your outfit) are conversant in both already -- or if they are equally clueless with both -- this doesn't save you much.
