What is your favorite SQL database?
Svein Håvard Djupvik, Rob Boek, siavash and 13 other people liked this
MySQL is high on the list.
- CW™
MySQL, only because it's one of 2 I've set up and managed by hand. Apparently it took off more than PostgreSQL did.

Interesting. So far, it's just MySQL. Christopher, what makes MySQL better in your mind?
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
MySQL
- Mike Reynolds
Microsoft SQL Server, just to be contrary and everyone keeps telling me it's Microsoft's best product whenever I say Exchange is.
- Alex Scoble
MySQL for it's simplicity with websites. MS SQL Server 200x and Oracle because they put food on the table.
- Anthony K. Valley ©
Although I'm not a database guy, I like SQL Server.
- Alan Le
I hate SQL but I used to use MySQL because it was easy but then I migrated to Postgresql (probably just to be different). However, now I try to avoid database work whenever I can.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I want to say Access just to be contrary ;-) Dunno, I've dealt with Oracle, MSSQL and MySQL more than Postgre SQL. Of those three, I prefer the interface MSSQL offers, MySQL for size and speed, and Oracle for sheer unadulterated power.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Akiva, what's wrong with SQL?
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
For what purpose? For corporate work like data warehousing I want Oracle. For anything smaller it would be MySql.
- Rob Diana
I really like Oracle, but it's overkill for most stuff. I have a special place in my heart for PostgreSQL, but my workhorse RDBMS is MySQL.

I'm kind of sad that I'm the only woman that's answered this question. Come on lady geeks!!

MS SQL .
- Kamath (नमः)
MS SQL is my default. MySQL when I'm going for free or w/ PHP. Oracle if I need a huge cluster and several terabytes, though MSSQL is catching up on that. Access or SQLExpress if I only have one user.

MySQL
- AJ Batac
Okay, fine. I'll admit the truth: Cornerstone.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Let me add that I didn't care for PostgreSQL the one time I used it. MSSQL 2005/8 is my all around database server. Oracle 10g/11g is for multi-terabyte databases. MySQL is for smaller hosted websites. Corporate rocks!

@teejayhanton yeah, I've seen that. Optimal solution for me is probably iPhone, hard enough to carry one device around, 2 is impossible
I've got a 4GB iPhone that I got after the first price drop ... I can't imagine NOT having one now. I'll upgrade to 3G eventually (if this one ever dies).
- tj hanton
Wondering if I need an iphone or if I could get by with an ipod touch... Need is relative, obviously. Broken contract, data plan, >$$$ FTL

Indeed. The truth stretching looks fairly even. This whole debate was a re-hash of the last one.

Thank you! You're only the third person who say that, Mark. Not sure how I feel about that. :\
- Mona Nomura
Well, I'm going to step away from my usual spot where I defend the r's from ad hominem attack and say that tonight's debate demonstrated everything that's wrong with the modern presidential campaign process. Here we have two (IMO) mediocre candidates from two mediocre parties staging a mediocre joint press conference. Our process is so stagnated it isn't funny. I'll be honest here, too. This is the first year I've ever held my nose and voted for a Republican for president. I almost always vote third ...
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
... party because I'm of the firm opinion you should vote your conscious, and not who you think is most likely to win. Unfortunately, Ron Paul destroyed all the confidence I had in the LP this year, and I've never been a huge fan of Bob Barr. Of the candidates that are left, I'm most closely aligned with McCain (but that's even a stretch). Despite that fact, I still can't close my eyes to the fact that what was on TV tonight was a scripted and rehearsed event that was so obviously not a debate that I was ..
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
.. reminded of exactly why I can't stand almost everything from the R's and the D's.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Mark? I couldn't agree with you more. I keep repeating this, but it's not about Republican or Democrat, left or right, who's right, who's wrong, but the issues at hand. It's up to us to keep an open mind, stay up on the issues and be involved long after the election. It's time we (as a nation) THINK.
- Mona Nomura
Indeed. Absolutely right.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I'm actually liking your comment, Mona.
- Pico Seno
@Mona - obviously thinking more is a good thing to be sure - but elections will really always be about a gut feeling of trust and a gut judgment of character. A politician can SAY anything they want, but if you don;t feel you can trust them it doesn't mean a damn thing. Sometimes that gut feeling is right, sometimes it's wrong... but it will always be deeply influential.
- Soulhuntre
How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.
- Morton Fox
This is why voting records are the most important thing to look at when deciding who to vote for. Yeas and Nays are harder to spin and written in the public record.
- Robert Hafer

- tj hanton
No, really? You don't say.
- Roberto Bonini
Robert: So what happens if you're lied to by your own government? And you end up voting for or against something under false pretenses? That stays on record for the rest of a politician's career.
- Mona Nomura
It says somthing about society. We prefer being lied to, even if we have to make serious decisions. Does this play into our perferance for optimistic rather than pessimistic statements?
- Roberto Bonini
This plays into not taking everything at face value. Things are not always what they seem.

Mine: Ritz Dining Room. NOT because it's Ritz, but for Chef Ron Siegel. I have been a huge fan of his for years, and the tasting menu never disappoints.

- Eric P
And come to think of it, I remember one of the commentary tracks for one of the Star Treks, they were talking about this. They said they *knew* there was no sound in space - but it was boring as hell without the sound effects. if you think about the original series, that kind of makes sense - it would be hard to build tension otherwise with just a model enterprise hanging there.

You can make up for the lack of sound effects in a space movie by overlaying a musical score that paces well and sometimes seems like sound effects.

Dave: hah! Mona: hmm, I have no idea if some of my stuff has disappeared over time.
- Robert Scoble
Does not compute, Dave! And the STARTonomics one disappeared, too! :\ Robert: This was from last night...
- Mona Nomura
maybe part of FF attempt to collect/aggregate similar items, perhaps?!?
- dave mcclure
Mona I see one of your STARTonomics post to the Social Media room here http://friendfeed.com/e... I remember you had a comment, which I don't see here, so you must have posted it twice...the 2nd one appears to be indeed missing
- Susan Beebe
when script writing ideas are being posted to the rocketboom room, we have noticed items vanishing.. then reappearing 4 hours later. I mentioned this in a post a day or so ago... no-one else reported the same problem then, seems it's spreading.
- alphaxion
It's ok, it happens. :) I'm just causing a stink because it's not everyday I get geek points awarded like that. NOT that I'm keeping track or anything... HA
- Mona Nomura
I see you, Mona... trying to hide your post it where you are keeping tally.
- Yolanda
we're actually having to cache our links and article ideas into a txt file just in case they go walkies right now... haven't raised it as a problem just yet - wasn't sure if it was room related or system wide. It appears to be system wide :S Oh, and your points will be refunded in about 4 hours time, so don't worry :)
- alphaxion
Mona - Reshare this to the FriendFeed Feedback room so the FF team can address it for us
- Susan Beebe
That is odd... and I'm sure frustrating
- Anthony K. Valley ©
Anthony: Not at all. FriendFeed has been nothing but great. I whined for my own selfish purposes and turned it into a bigger deal than it is. Like alphaxion said, it shoud reappear in a few. :) I'm not concerned! @Susan: I did a search in the FF feedback room and someone posted something similar. I'm sure they're working on it! Thanks for the input, everyone!
- Mona Nomura
I wonder if it's something to do with the related feature
- alphaxion
Does that mean you lose your points?

"Mona OverFlow" may be the best description. I am testing a small app that uses Yahoo Pipes and AppEngine and right now the only feed I've had a problem with is Mona's. After processing it's almost 2MB! Scoble's only reaches 300K :)

Do I want to know what is going on here: "Dave: hah! Mona: hmm". ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
BTW, who is counting up the points? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
But Dave - Sympathy points are not Geek points! I will just have to regain them! :)
- Mona Nomura
Mona: I think you get the geek points back just for distinguishing the two categories.
- Aaron Hood
Aaron: YES! - high five -
- Mona Nomura
I just discovered one of my post is missing too! I went back to look for it as a reference and it's gone...dang! that's NOT good.
- Susan Beebe
looks as if some dbase work need to be done?
- Helen Sventitsky
it may be in a result of application changes, e.g. logic that drives the "related" post algorithm...not sure. In any case, I need to be able to find stuff i bookmark here.
- Susan Beebe
I'm sure it's a UI flaw and the data is still intact. I have faith in them. :)
- Mona Nomura
Good point about sympathy points not being geek points. But you get to keep the 10 you got -- they exist completely independent of the FriendFeed database.
- Dave Winer
Dave - I'm tempted to put 10 Dave Winer points on a piece of flair. And put it right next to my Red Swingline! YAY!

What I want to know is who is her lesbian friend? And why would a lesbian be best friends with someone like Palin? I find that very interesting and wonder if it is true at all. I've had people tell me this before and then when I push them on it they can't name their "best friend." Also, if I had a best friend and I was running for Vice President that person would be with me every stage of the way. Just saying.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, because it's so easy and fun being gay in America. Why not choose to be gay!?!

Would you rather she didn't share her beliefs? I personally wish more candidates would state their true (non party speak) beliefs - then each person can make an informed decision in the booth. BTW, amazing how many of you can't articulate your opinions without resorting to name callling. Talk about unprofessional.

Of course im unprofessional Dan I don't get a pay check for this shit.
- Geoff Schultz
@Eric - Amen!

She CAN'T know how stupid she looks or she would have had a mental breakdown by now.
- Stephan Miller
Owing to how free she is with her opinions, I am forced to wonder how many other people share her views.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I live around white trash and know it when I see it. I fought to get away from people like her. Just the fact she is running for office is appalling. Anyone see Idiocracy. This is the beginning, mark my word. And sometimes it takes an expletive. I don't say "Oh,poop" when I slam my finger in the door. If she gets to the white house, this will hurt more than a broken finger.
- Stephan Miller
that someone like Palin could be VP and possibly president is very very scary
- Ryan
Based on her communicated belief system thus far, I just don't see Palin with a best friend who is gay, nor do I understand (like Robert) why anyone who is gay would consider her a best friend. I think its a "make believe" friend.
- jcunwired
I've just scanned this, so I may have missed the details. Is the main bullet point from this thread that Sarah Palin is a gay moose who's best friends with Scoble? That doesn't seem correct.
- Chris Nixon
There's a column on a gay conservative site about this too (I can't remember which, I saw it briefly this morning while horking down cereal). She really does have a long-time lesbian friend apparently. One assumes they must never discuss gay identity issues.
- Soup
Therefore, wouldn't heterosexuality be a choice too? Life's about choices ... wait ... isn't she Pro-life? She CAN'T be pro-choice too ... time-space continuum collapsing ...

Too much Radiohead and NO CRANBERRIES! I expect the former, but the later it simply unforgivable. Bah... Pitchfork... bah... (yes, I agree Emma's pic choices were choice) Also notable and inexplicably missing: U2's Achtung Baby, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, Counting Crows' August and Everything After, Peter Gabriel's Secret World Live, Fiona Apple's When the Pawn (or Tidal), or any Dave Matthews Band (who for many defined the 90s). I'll stop now ;)

Carmen - I just want a separate service for that. Combination head massage and shampooing cuz that water feels gooooood.
- Melissa
The cutting is meh, but I agree that the wash and rinse should last an hour.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I heart the shampoo and massage. That and a nice glass of something. The haircut is just me catching up with my stylist. :-)
- Mathew A. Koeneker
I'm another one who believes the shampoo could be a lot longer. The guys where I go are just... guh. The stylist is a longtime friend of mine, too, so the haircuts always take longer than they should and are always fun, but... yes. More shampoo time, please.
- Nine
I go to a place called modern male that caters to male clients; a head and shoulder massage plus a straight edge shave is part of the haircut
- RAPatton
Hah, not me. I find getting my hair cut to be an irritating experience regardless of how sensual the woman is. I usually can't wait until I get out of there and I generally hate any conversation that happens in the chair. I have a stylist now whom I actually like and will talk to (she's a vegetarian from New Orleans so we share a love for food) so it's not as bad as it was before. But, no, it's not sensual for me; it's discomforting at best.
- Akiva Moskovitz
wow. that's nice, rap.
- edythe
I can honestly say I've never had my hair cut by a beautiful woman. They've all been either aging, Asian women (PAST their prime) or old, Black guys. Not sure why, but that seems to be the demographics for Barbers throughout my life.
