[Asterisk-Dev] Re: PostgreSQL support in Asterisk 1.2?

[Rollin Weeks]

Coming from an Oracle background to Mysql, I found several things different, 
including some of the defaults, and even data types. I was a bit frustrated 
not having embedded Select statements available. But I adapted to Mysql 
pretty easily, and have found it a reliable workhorse. 

I know how to bring Oracle to its knees, even on large enterprise servers. 
You have to be careful what you expect an RDBMS to do, especially realtime 
stuff. Is Postgres better? I doubt that, when you compare across the board. 
Each has its strengths. Mysql has a "builtin" ODBC for linix. Some of my 
colleagues use ColdFusion, and it has yet another ODBC.

Probably I wouldn't use ANY DB system with a medium-heavy loaded asterisk 
server, if I had to do lots of accesses in near-real time.
