RE: [PHP] can you give me example of website using postgresql database?

Assuming that a system should switch RDBMSs is a waste of time without
knowing the reason is asinine. Using NDB clustering is a primary reason for
switching. PostgreSQL is only currently PLANNING built-in replication, much
less clustering. Not to mention that the existing system is not taking
advantage of ANY PostgreSQL functionality that is not already present in
MySQL. So gaining performance and clustering is reason enough for me.

individual licenses).

I'm not sure what you're looking for in a RDMS, but the simple fact that
you
are having a hard time finding a robust, live site that uses PostgreSQL
should scare you more than Sun's purchase of MySQL. I develop a
relatively
large, in-house application using PostgreSQL that I can't wait to convert
to
MySQL.

WHY?
What a waste of time.
More big MySQL sites have had problems in the past that Postgres, but the
only
reason to change TO MySQL is if it is going to give something in return.
What
do you think it will give you?
Personally I'll stick with Firebird even though switching between engines is

very simple in my case, using ADOdb ;)

paragasu - http://www.bitweaver.org/wiki/bitweaver_sites see if you can spot

which engine is being used for which site :) MySQL is somewhat low on the
list
when it comes to testing :)
