What would we do without postgres? How does anyone justify another SQL DB these days?
We use SQL Server at work and I really don’t get why. It’s so expensive. We’re hosting it on AWS as well. I can’t remember the numbers but it’s several times more than a similarly specced postgres and we’re only using Standard edition.
I don’t think we’re really using any features that would stop us moving over, it’s really just inertia and in-house knowledge.
Sounds like an opportunity to be the shepherd of change that saves the company money.
Beware of one-trick database admins (if you have those) and salespeople who earn their living fighting such changes.
Yeah I’ve been dropping not very subtle hints. We’re only a small company, about 25 people. We don’t have any dedicated database admins at all.
It’s on the list I think but we don’t have the people to spare to get it done.

You sure know how to bring up the elephant in the room. But mysql is decent enough too, not my favourite, but good enough.
Mariadb, maybe.
It certainly was a strong competitor fifteen years ago. If only they kept pace
Good pun
Sqlite is simple.
But I get what you mean, for large projects salute is not an option. Its embeddability is unbeatable though.
open_database(":memory:")is so unbelievably convenient.Sqlite is nice and fast. I think the only disadvantage is you can’t connect to it from multiple processes or machines, so scalability goes out the window.
We use DB2, but mostly because we call it from a mainframe.
