[Freeswitch-users] [OffTopic] Why PostgreSQL better then MySQL?

Its simpler than that.

I have used both db in my time as a developer and I have been mad at both
for one reason or another.
It all boils down to Mysql is not as stable and has several thread safety
and memory leak issues when its used in a multi-threaded app like
FreeSWITCH.  In fact that preference is irrelevant because technically the
default database in FS is sqlite because the design goal of the project is
for the software to run anywhere in a minimal capacity and be able to grow
and scale with the user's needs.  So anyone can use any database they want.
 However, when we get a bug report that shows Mysql crashing, that is not
something we can do anything about.  Since we do have better luck with
postgres, we allowed the inclusion of native api but that was a 3rd party
contribution.

So bottom line is we don't care what other people do, we just do what we
like doing and share it.
