I'm just in the process of setting up bacula and debating postgres vs mysql (I've used both, but have more experience with the latter).
I see that the current online users' manual mentions that one advantage of using Postgres is support for transactions and stored procedures. MySQL also has support for these, albiet only in more recent versions with the appropriate table types (innodb). If a recent mysql that supports transactions is used, does bacula take advantage of it? If not, then what are the potential side effects? Does using mysql make it more probable that the DB can get into an inconsistent state, or is the lack of db transaction support mitigated by other factors? Also, has anyone obtained empirical data on how changing the mysql table types to innodb affects bacula performance? Devin -- Dimensions will always be specified in the least usable term.
