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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
