Is a PITR with postgres relatively fast? I have to consider
the
downtime. I realise that filesystem / server failures are
fairly rare
but I just want to cover myself in case of emergency.
Not wanting to start a database flame war here... but is
there a better
option between MySQL 5.0 and Postgres 8.1 *for dbmail*? As
long as the
performance is similar I would prefer a database that was
more reliable.
The reason I highlight dbmail is that there are so many
comparisons
between the two databases on a general level, not for a
specific
application.
Thanks,
Josh.
