You are comparing two free softwares toward a very expensive professional one, they are not really comparable.

Depends on what your current environment is where you are coming from and where you want to go. They are all robust capable databases but obviously even with support contracts PostgreSQL and MYSQL are a lot cheaper than Oracle to roll out. PostgreSQL is more enterprise capable (read highly robust reliable and scaleable) than MYSQL . Things like Skype runs on PostgreSQL and thats a big system. MySQL is pretty much installed on every webserver out there and ideal for those kind of apps. Perhaps skills are more generally available for mySQL but with PostgreSQL 8 thats changing. One of the issues most important and most ignored is normally what experience do you have in house and where are you starting from. Probably the biggest issue with the adoption of open source solutions in a company is migration of applications, data and skills from Oracle to either of the above open source products. Once you start assigning value to risk ond time and people an experienced Oracle DBA or Oracle salesman can start making open source seem very expensive to a CFO. If you are moving from Oracle there are options like PostgreSQL based EnterpriseDB which offer Oracle compatibility with PostgreSQL reliability and performance and allows lots of money saved and an easy entry into the open source space for an Oracle shop. If you are starting from scratch with nothing invested in skills or technologies today i'd go with PostgreSQL

I prefer PostgreSQL because it's faster and more stable since most people are on MySQL and if it is running a crazy script, then it pulls the whole system down. xboxrulz

I like mySQL just because i have been using it for a long time, and it is easy for me to understand. Mysql ftw.

I use mySQL and always have, therefor it is my preference, also in it's favour is that it's free, is used by nearly all PHP and a lot of ASP(.net) web scripts, is well supported, is easy to use, and is included with nearly all hosts. I also like SQLite, and postgreSQL seems interesting, if it is free I shall have a try of it, it sounds interesting, and there seems to be a positive opinion of it within this thread, best of all it's included with astahost so I can try it easily.

I had to put in a vote for Oracle. lt really does depend on scale though. But, if you want to manage millions upon millions of entries you want Oracle. Look at this list of limitation for example. For simple things like Forums or the like MySQl is sufficient.

Mysql Multiple Tables

basic sql query CODE $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row=1"; If you noticed that I selected
all of the rows in the table. Normally you will try to not select the entire table from the database
unless you absolutely want all of the table. I would recommend against it; just gra....

Mysql And User File_priv
(0) HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file
permissions of the database user but this seems not possible with most of the hosting providers.
The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen....
