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.

You gave no reasons initially ... and with facilities being added all the time, the reason to change may evaporate before a change is made?
Have you looked at the alternatives as well since you seem to have some work to do rather than simply changing the data source?

I'm being told I have to switch to MSSQL or Oracle but the customers can't provide justification to do that as yet and since we are only up to a couple of gigabytes of data replicated across machines I am always looking for informed explanations of why a switch is necessary ;) i.e. why one database may be more appropriate than another.

The lack of proper comparison information does make it difficult at times :(
