Postgres in der OpenSource-Directory

[Rolf Schaufelberger <rs(at)plusw(dot)de>]

Hallo,

diese Woche war bei heise  ein Artikel  über  ein OpenSource-Directory:

http://www.eosdirectory.com/

Darin werden auch versch. Datenbanken bewertet und  MySQL erhält da 5  
Sterne , PostgreSQL nur 4.
Ich habe die dann angeschrieben, dass ich diese Sicht nicht Teile,    
die Antwort möchte ich euch nicht vorenthalten:

> the "enterprise readiness rating"  is not a purely "technical"  
> assessment.
> I would agree that from a pure technical point both, MySQL and  
> PostgreSQL, are peers. And that is also what you find in the  
> "functionality", "maturity" and "community" ratings.
> However, for an Enterprise, professional support, migrations tools,  
> spread/distribution/market presence  and available expertise in the  
> market are important too. And this is where MySQL at least  
> historically has outperformed PostgreSQL to some extent. This also  
> explains why there's a niche for EnterpriseDB to position its  
> professional services and product offerings.
> This is why we came up with one additional "star" for MySQL. It's  
> debatable, I agree. And we probably should think of upgrading  
> PostgreSQL.
>
> Thank you for your feedback and input.
