I want to use Mysql on my local and PostgreSQL on production server. How difficult is it. I am mysql novice and have no idea on PostgreSQL. I will be using just crud with joins. My coding is in PHP PDO so hope there is no problem there. Also is there a SIMPLE beginners guide to postgresql
No, you dont, you really don’t – trust me.
Then pick one and stick with it. You’ll have enough to manage learning one system. Both run on all the usual platforms you might meet and PostgreSQL runs on loads you probably never will. Making sure your application works on both RDBMSs will be fiddly and bug-prone.
I’d recommend PostgreSQL – it’s more strict (irritating at first, pays off later) and has better standards support and advanced query planning. Having said that though, if you’ve only got MySQL on both systems just use that.
