 | Hi again,
I forgot something in my previous post. At the end of the article, the
journalist mentions two comparisons:
http://support.summersault.com/why_postgresql.html
http://www-css.fnal.gov/dsg/external/freeware/mysql-vs-pgsql.html
Are they any good?
Cheers.

The first one is a nice document from a PR and advocacy perspective
(but could use some updating); and the second is a year out-of-date
and (to me at least) appears biased - not good at all.

I liked the table at summersault wrt features of the several databases;
does anyone know about a similar chart comparign PostgreSQL's and
Oracle's SQL language syntax? I'm thinking about migrating a system from
Oracle to PostgreSQL, and I would like to know how painless this could
be done.

Check out O'Reilly's book "SQL In A Nutshell". It does command-by-command
comparisons of SQL syntax with PG, Oracle, MSSQL and MySQL.

| BTW, does anyone know why the first of the articles lists MS SQL Server
as not being ACID compliant? It might be good to know.
