But web developers don't actually need 'real' databases 90% of the MySQL web databases I've seen are just used to store text and maybe a few other things in one or maybe two tables.
PostgreSQL is a competitor to Oracle with features that real database developers use. MySQL is not.
The only reason there are comparisons between MySQL and PostgreSQL is because they are both Open Source. Otherwise there is no comparison.
PostgreSQL is a fully featured, enterprise ready, RDBMS and stands for comparison with Oracle and DB2 and to a lesser extent Sybase/SQL Server. MySQL is not even in the same league as any of the previously mentioned. However, web developers seem to like it...
I'll show my colours and say that I've been working with Oracle for over 10 years, and I love it, it gets better all the time. I can't comment on DB2 as I haven't used it for about 10 years and then only briefly.
I've just finished managing a six month data migration project from SQL Server to Oracle. Oracle is head and shoulders above SQL Server in the query stakes and stomps all over it with it's procedural language (PL/SQL vs TSQL). PostgreSQL is much more Oracle-like than anything else, pl/pgsq is even comparable with PL/SQL although not as feature rich.
I recon the Postgres guys are at least at a par with 8i comparing against Oracle, which is pretty damned impressive.
They are available in the UK. I bought a pair last summer (in Berkhamsted).
Absolutely brilliant, the best shoes I've ever had. I do get plenty of comments about them both positive and negative (and some strange looks) my kids call them my funky shoes. I wear them all the time - great for any activity.
You really do have to try them on though, I'm normally a UK 10 (EU 44) but my five fingers are size EU 42 (UK 8) so they're a nice snug fit.
What the police were basically saying was - Install CCTV and give us unlimited access to it or we'll prevent you from doing business by refusing you a licence to sell alcohol.
To quote TFA: A spokeswoman for the Met said: "To this end, Islington police recommend all premises are required to install CCTV and make those images available to police upon request before a licence is granted."
Pubs can't function as pubs without a licence. The question is, how many pubs succumbed to this illegal intimidation from the police before this guy spoke out?
I couldn't agree more. I set my parents up with Kubuntu about 3 years ago. Since then I've had to upgrade the hardware due to the additional uses my dad's found for it (photo processing mainly).
I rarely get support calls. The last one was to change email settings when my dad decided to change ISP.
Good luck trying to learn Dutch in the Netherlands - even if you speak to people in Dutch they will respond in English. That's literally anybody under the age of 50.
I couldn't agree more. I've only been working with databases for 10 years, so I'm a bit of a newb comparatively. I have no respect for anything from MySQL - it's Noddy.
If you can't be arsed to read the article it's basically:
1. buy clean, uncontaminated tap water @0.06p litre 2. add carcinogen 3. sell for £1.80 litre 4. profit!!!! 5. get found out, "voluntarily" withdraw product
In order to read email or change POP settings you had to log into your account, jump through some hoops etc. etc.The servers went into melt down.
As everybody got home from work to find that to even read their email, let alone change settings to allow POP, they had to login via Skys site - which just couldn't take it.
I wasn't able to change my settings until about 6 hours after I got home. It wasn't a snappy experience, each page took ages to load and often timed out...

For those who don't recognize it, sodium hydroxide is more commonly known as lye.
For those who don't recognize it, sodium hydroxide is more commonly known as caustic soda. A much more descriptive name...
FFS if you bothered to look at the pictures in TFA, don't read it obviously, you'd have seen a nicely placed info button...
Yes I remember when you bought stuff you were a 'customer'. Now you're a 'consumer'.
I guess it's because of the saying that 'the customer is always right'. We're not customers now - so we can always be wrong...
why I was getting spam from facebook to the unique email address I gave skype - spamfromskype@mydomain ...

Nicely put
because PostgreSQL kicks MySQL's ass in everything except market share whichever way you look at it
Exactly - we were actually tripping our nuts off dancing to stuff like this: T99 and this Prodigy and a fucking excellent time was had by all.
I'm afraid my experience is purely SQL and PL/SQL - I have no opinion other than on those subjects.

Hmm... I see you're trying to play this down.

Er, one thing _you_ seem to be missing, is that mass is a measure of energy...
M = E/C^2

This is something which can only further promote bad programming practices.
But then I'd never use MySQL anyway.
Check out what happened to Desani here in the UK http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2004/mar/20/medicineandhealth.lifeandhealth
Needless to say it's not available here any more.

Thanks, all the main mirrors listed were full
The new system was five years late, and now we're the only country in the world to have privately owned air traffic control.
Look at our rail network and then tell me that's a good idea.
try lotus notes - the client supports all but linux *sigh*
Xfree statically links zlib un-adulterated, so just recompile with the new zlib code in place of the old.
