Hi Carlos, I think mysql, up to a certain amount of concurrent conenctions, will be faster at returning data than Postgres but Postgres will scale a lot better than MySQL and can handle many more concurrent requests before showing the strain. PG also offers stored procedures which I don't think mysql has.
And, well, if your boss can afford ORacle - well, why not go for it? Oracle is good for your cv/resume and it'll do the job. Depends how much of an Open Source Evangelist you are. joel -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Quijano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 July 2002 08:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: oracle/pgsql/mysql and dbi Hi Group!
