I have no experience with ColdFusion, but if you ask a question like whether MySQL or Postgres is better on a Postgres mailing list - we're going to say Postgres.
Postgres is in many, many ways vastly superior to MySQL. However, if you are a newbie or are doing this on Win32 platform, you may still choose to use MySQL.
Postgres has these things that MySQL doesn't:
* SQL compatible date & time handling
* subselects
* stored procedures
* proper foreign keys
* proper transactions
* views
* custom types, aggregates, operators and functions
* 4 procedural languages
* ...and much, much more...
You haven't provided us with very much information, however...
Chris

I am running RedHat, with Apache and Cold Fusion. I chose PostgreSQL for all of the aforementioned reasons. It works very well with Cold Fusion. I have done some optimizing and am able to run rather complex queries much faster than I ever was able to on any Windows platform database. I had to bail on MySQL because it wouldnt run the sub-queries that i needed.
Thanks
Chad

Unfortunatly i know of no such problem. I have large text fields being submited to my database, but i restrict the submit page to 255 chars. I will have to test larger numbers and see what errors i get.
Thanks
Chad

Michelle,
Have you tried it with Postgres 7.1 yet, which removed such limitations?

With PostgreSQL versions before 7.1 there were various problems. As of 7.1, the main problem has been drivers. ColdFusion came with old (obsolete) drivers that didn't support many of the new features in postgreSQL. A custom compilation of new drivers was required, but was a tricky process. As of CF MX, IMHO PostgreSQL is the clear winner. For the very simple reason of full Unicode support, which means internationalization is a breeze. Simply save templates as UTF-8 and create a database with Unicode encoding and you are ready. And I am not aware of any problems with the JDBC drivers. Jochem PS Whichever you choose, use cfqueryparam exclusively in your queries.
