Re: [OCLUG-Tech] [Fwd: How to buy a Laptop Best Practices]

Once upon a time, MySQL wrote developer docs and manuals telling
people how they didn't want or need triggers.
Or foreign keys. Or views. Or data integrity. That made MySQL the
"easy" database to work with, so therefore postgres had to be "hard".
Times have changed, MySQL has spent a lot of time building something
that at least looks like a full-featured database, but the feelings
linger.
