I do know of one source (_large_ net spidering outfit) who I used to contract for that had chosen postgres over mysql because of large table stability. Basically mysql side by side with their straight forward table structures and queries covering millions of records were quicker and the engine was more predictable. But why take my word? Go install both and write a shell script and fill them with a couple million lines of info and pound away :) On 4/4/06, Miles Keaton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is a serious question, for heavy users of OpenBSD in > big/production/heavy-traffic situations. > Which leads me to my real question for you heavy users of OpenBSD in > big/production/heavy-traffic situations: > > When would you NOT use OpenBSD? There's only one (IMO) place to not use OpenBSD...when its on the desktop and you need a driver to be productive. I'm using debian and -current on my laptop for this reason because I have to be able to use wireless when in a datacenter. Mission critical applications/enterprise/production...... everything pales to OpenBSD. My reasons: 1) security 2) documentation 3) simplicity 4) ports 5) source documentation 6) ease of source use and navigation 7) faqs & mailing list archives
