postgresql goodness
We’ve migrated our “super-stealth-mode” project’s backend from mysql to postgresql. The reasons: because mysql doesn’t have support for functions or views, or real live table locking (well somewhat, InnoDB and mysql 5.0+) — and the license is somewhat better (free no strings-attached). It will be easier for development in the short-run and long-run, having worked with several, ahem, Oracle databases — I hope.
And the real reason: peer pressure. My buddy Ola said: “MySQL is the VB of Databases.” Owch.
