Обсуждение: Comparisons
Hi again, I forgot something in my previous post. At the end of the article, the journalist mentions two comparisons: http://support.summersault.com/why_postgresql.html http://www-css.fnal.gov/dsg/external/freeware/mysql-vs-pgsql.html Are they any good?

The first one is a nice document from a PR and advocacy perspective (but could use some updating); and the second is a year out-of-date and (to me at least) appears biased - not good at all. -- Mitch

It does command-by-command comparisons of SQL syntax with PG, Oracle, MSSQL and MySQL. --Josh -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
BTW, does anyone know why the first of the articles lists MS SQL Server as not being ACID compliant? It might be good to know.
