Perhaps you've read some of the much tweeted [PHP hate] (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/06/the-php-singularity.html) from recent years. I used to write PHP and it is true that it works, you can get things done. The same goes for MySQL - it works and you can definitely use it to build and run successful applications. Facebook uses it. But the ["fractal of bad design"] (http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/) assessment of PHP could equally be applied to MySQL. Just take a look at [this screencast] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PoFIohBSM4) for a whole bunch of concrete examples. Don't get me wrong, over the years MySQL and I have had our fair share of late nights partying together till dawn, our intimate mornings nestled amongst the features of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, timeless moments on that shitty official MySQL forum site (yes you know the one) but I'm afraid the time has come to truncate my losses and move on.

Maybe you've read some of the [PHP hate] (http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/) that's out there. I used to write PHP and you know, it works, you can get things done. The same goes for MySQL. I kind of feel like in this day and age MySQL is the relational database analogue of the [lingering legacy of the PHP singularity] (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/06/the-php-singularity.html). 

Basically, MySQL works and you can definitely use it to build and run successful applications. Facebook uses it. But the important point to consider is that Postgres ..... is better. It's more or less a fact. How and why? Well there are numerous articles out there for you to google up but [here's a screencast] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PoFIohBSM4) that gives you a reasonable breakdown, by example. 

So just like I left PHP behind, now I've left MySQL behind. You could say I've **mysqldumped** it forever. Now, [WHO'S COMIN WITH ME?!] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7ObPFtGijw)
