[olug] DB Servers

[David Walker]

PostgreSQL
Not sure which one is better now.  When I picked only Postgres supported 
transactions.
I like that Postgres supports all of the complex queries I've thrown at it 
(starting with version 7.1 which supports outer joins).
There's always slight differences in semantics.  You probably can't just 
throw in a different database driver and expect your application to work on a 
different database.  But sql is sql.  Shouldn't be too hard to migrate.

My other experience is with MS SQL Server.  Postgres does the job better in 
some aspects and the same in others.
