PostgreSQL

  • Not sure where this question goes, but wondering how SQL server compares to PostgreSQL. Is there a good source for comparing features?

    Thanks,

  • Not sure I've seen a good one. I know lots of Oracle like things are in PostgreSQL, so that may be a good start.

    are you looking for things in terms or programming, admin, ?

    Is this to decide which you want to use or perhaps to considering porting code?

  • I'm checking out some of the open source options in terms of perhaps porting over an application. I looked at MySQL and was stunned that they just now have stored procedure capabilites. That told me all I needed to know there. Plus no administrative capabilities.

    Postgres seems to be a different story, but it seems that everyone is strongly in one camp or the other. I grew up on SQL server, know little about Oracle, but exploring what's out there.

  • Don't suppose anyone out there has found good postgres vs sql server websites / docs etc... I've been asked to investigate sql server vs postgres but only have experience with sql server.

    Really looking for a list of features + pros & cons mainly focusing on:

    O/S compatibility

    Performance

    Limiting factors

    Support

    GUI

    Programming language

    etc...

    I've been having a look around and getting feel for the differences but haven't found any killer sites yet.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Paul
