MySQL vs Postgres, Again – Is Postgres Better?

I was browsing the web on this lazy Sunday afternoon and ran across a good article on the Rarest Words blog. The author was trying to get Django installed and running with Postgres. From the author’s own admissions, he is not a Postgres fanatic.

Well, this and last year I hear everywhere that PostgreSQL is the way to go and that usage of mySQL in 2008 makes people puke… But without any real arguments (besides “Postgres is the way to go”).

After some not so compatible errors with these not so compatible databases, the author did get it working and ran some benchmarks. Postgres did not turn out faster than MySQL.

Is EnterpriseDB Express Gone?

I was at the EnterpriseDB web site recently and noticed that the downloads have changed a bit. I no longer see a download for EnterpriseDB Express. If you remember a while back, I had found an annoyance with the installation of the express version.

Now you go right to the advance server download and get a messsage.

You have downloaded EnterpriseDB Advanced Server. Currently, EnterpriseDB Advanced Server 8.2 requires a Product Key in order to use the software above 1 CPU, 1 GB of memory, and 6GB of data.

Falcon Test

I just downloaded Falcon and was running some tests. I was getting an error:

C:\MySQL\bin>mysqladmin version status proc
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost'
                             (using password: NO)'

To fix this error, just add a -u parameter, i.e.:

C:\MySQL\bin>mysqladmin version status proc -u root
mysqladmin  Ver 8.42 Distrib 6.0.2-alpha, for Win32 on ia32
