[phplib] MySQL or PostgreSQL? From: Jochen Lillich (jl <email protected>)

Hi,

I'm sorry for posting my previous message in German. It's been a long
day...

I heard that Postgres isn't quite suitable for some web applications,
because it doesn't do UPDATEs in-place. Instead, it creates new records,
and the garbage collection with VACUUM would require an exclusive lock.

Is that right -- should I rather use MySQL for storing session data
and other fast-changing information?

Best regards,

        Jochen
