Exactly !
I am sure when enough experiments are done on PostGRE as are done with
MySQL.You start liking MySQL. ;o)
Probably, PostGRE is considered better and secure than MySQL only because
that many bugs havent been discovered in Post GRE. But looking at the amount
of development and work being done in MySQL, I am sure Post GRE will have as
many problems. So why not push MySQL to scalability rather than picking up a
"less" tested SQL.
One thing I am unsure of...
is it good to have complexity in a DB ? isnt simpler the better ?
What you will find in oracle, MSSQL, etc, in the "best practices/secret
wisedumb tips" section.
MySQL will not permit anything apart from those things. So in otherwords,
your MySQL leaves less scope for mistakes.
I am in love with a statement in MySQL manual(which is about why they didnt
support Foregin keys)
"If a db programmer deletes a row in a table and forgets to delete a related
row in another table, he shouldnt really be doing programming.". ;o)
It was not exactly this, but something on similar lines.
