Benefits of PostgreSQL over other sql databases?
Hey I am a frontend developer and have some experience working with noSQL databases. I was wondering what people's thoughts were on using PostgreSQL? I have noticed that it's the 2nd most commonly used database after MySQL per the Stack Overflow developer survey and that it's popular at startups. What are the advantages of using PostgreSQL over other sql databases?
It's a proper Open Source database. A few years ago MySQL got purchased by Oracle and a lot of people didn't like that. Some of those switched their support to PostgreSQL and that's why it's jumped in popularity. I don't really know enough about the differences between them, but I am using it at the moment and it seems fine to me :-)
Hey Richard, okay cool! I did not know that but that definitely makes a lot of sense.
I always end up going back to Postgres, so these days I just start with it from the beginning. If you ever get to the stage where it's not meeting your needs you'll have bigger problems to worry about.
