I have been working with various databases since the 80's.

Hi all:

I am new to PostgreSQL DB, however I have years experience with Oracle 8i
and MS SQL. I am in the process to promot PostgreSQL to my future client,
due to the cost. I am just wondering if overall people feels frustrated with
PostgreSQL or feels happey with it.

I know MySQL is simpiler and cheap. With my years experience with enterprise
level DB like Oracle and MS SQL, I just don't feel right with MySQL. I love
stored procedure. Sorry to MySQL lovers.

I have the following questions. Please reply me offline, so the mailling
list won't get flood. Thanks!
1. What is your favorite GUI tool for PostgreSQL?
I use PGAdmin for a quick conversion of Indexes and Tables from MS-SQL. /access But for other items I either use the command line or EMS PostgreSQL Manager - This is the favorite tool of the developers I have working on various projects.

We develope web applications and applicationsin Delphi, C++
2. In your organization, do you have someone who works as full time
PostgreSQL DBA?
No.

3. What is the biggest challenge you have with PostgreSQL? Administration or
Programming?
My biggest challenge is getting funding to convert other projects completed using MS-SQL to PostgreSQL, but they are coming around.

PostgreSQL has been very easy to program and administer.

4. Overall, do you like PostgreSQL? Would you recommend it over MySQL?
Coming from a background where data integrity is a high priority as well as performance - it's PostgrSQL hands down.

5. How often do your PostgreSQL run into problem or crash? Are most of the
problem caused by PostgreSQL itself?
It hasn't for over five years.



Any suggestion and help are welcome. Thanks!
