"PostgreSQL Review by a MySQL DBA"

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? During my 3-4 years of being exposed to PostgreSQL in a professional environment, everything being transactional was quite good, partial indexes are awesome and helped me optimize things quite a bit for the application at Vonage that was running on EnterpriseDB at the time (2006-2007). At the time, the feature set was a bit better than MySQL, which was my primary expertise. We were trying to substitute Oracle with PostgreSQL for a specific task we ...

"Open-source DB for all your needs and security"

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? * Very popular amongst Ruby on Rails developers and as a greenhorn in the field of web development, it's popularity speaks volumes to the number of blog posts and tutorial guides. That alone is a winner in my book.

"Best open source relational database in my opinion"

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? In mysql if your table does not have a primary key , the import button is not visible. In contrast to this postgresql allows you to make use of import data from a csv into a table even if the table does not contain primary key.

"A classical RDBMS to learn RDBMS internals"

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? I like standards-compliance of PostgreSQL best. As we know, PostgreSQL follows the majority of the SQL2011 standard, is ACID-compliant and transactional using multiversion concurrency control (MVCC); has updateable views and materialized views, triggers, foreign keys; supports functions and stored procedures, and other expandability, and has a large number of extensions written by third parties. It is easy to not only learn how things works but also ...

"A stable, powerful, feature-rich and fast database "

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? One of PostgreSQL's best features is strong adherence to the ANSI-SQL:2008 standard, which makes it a very comfortable choice when switching from other database systems. It's open source, well maintained, industry proven and battle-hardened, with a rich set of features that I could not begin to list here. I've consistently been impressed by its extensibility, stability, and robust set of built-in functions, including handy cryptographic functions. I ...

"It Just Works."

What do you like best about PostgreSQL? The documentation is very well written and logically laid out. I can't find anything in the MySQL docs but familiarity is certainly a factor.
