Before I was a DBA I worked as a developer in shop that had both PG and MySQL running. We had no DBA, or anyone at that time that really understood databases from a DBA side. The stuff that we had running in PG just worked. Period, no problems (and this was on PG 7.0). The stuff we had in MySQL, well, that "mysteriously" ground to a halt every night at the same time, making several customers applications unavailable. Without anyone on staff that could actually diagnose the issue, the only soution that they came up with (and I emphasise the word they, as I had no part in this :-)) was a cron job was that restarted the MySQL server every night. -- Brad Nicholson 416-673-4106 Database Administrator, Afilias Canada Corp.
