Dump MySQL and move to PostgreSQL
MySQL on OpenBSD/Sparc64 seems to be somewhat flaky and apparently has been that way for a while now. Kernel_Killer was fighting with it and phpBB on the webserver. I suggested that we look at PostgreSQL instead. I hadn’t decided on which weblog I was going to put up yet and phpBB supports either DB.
We installed PostgreSQL and the php extension to support it and then went on Thanksgiving break. I got back to setting up the DB server on Saturday after coming back from the inlaws. The more I dug through the docs, the more I liked what I saw. I haven’t spent much time with database servers but this makes me want to learn more. The website is up with PostgreSQL on it and things are coming together.
