        Reminder that Postgres DDL changes (creating, altering, and deleting tables and other objects) done inside transactions can be rolled back. No such luck in MySQL. It's a big deal; you will care when one of your migrations fails halfway through. https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Transactional_DDL_in_PostgreSQL:_A_Competitive_Analysis …

        Please help me solve a debate. Is it pronounced post-gress or post-grey?

        "post-gress" but I think that it is important that we graciously allow other people to pronounce it in an extremely wrong way

        Replying to @Gaming_Dude

        It's a million little things. But coming from MySQL, the biggest single thing that comes to mind is that DDL statements can be executed inside a transaction and rolled back if necessary. Makes migrations much less scary.

        https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/ … Got curious about this thread. Heard of Postgres but not educated on it. Came across this article. Thoughts? Not trying to rain on Postgres, just trying to understand.

        You and I don't have problems as large as Uber's. Read experience reports from apps of roughly your size if you want to make a decision on what tools to use.

        Yes indeed. One of my favorite lesser-known features is "exclusion constraints" - I don't know of any other db that has those. http://nathanmlong.com/2016/01/protect-your-data-with-postgresql-constraints/ …

        Postresql is great... but in response to @zurvenia, you haven’t lived until you’ve tried Go + MongoDB. The way structs work with BSON objects. Is pretty great!

        for me there is no way back to relational dbs. at least not for the type of information I manage and I need to access i.e. bioinformatics and medical information
