Details
This month Liam Wiltshire will be presenting to us about Postgres!
Postgres for MySQL Users
Postgres - a powerful DBMS with a big feature set, good performance, and is built stability. Yet in PHP, it's commonly overlooked for mySQL (and its forks) or NoSQL options.
If you’re a mySQL user, Postgres might seem strange - from the way you install and configure it to the way you interact with it and create schemas. Things are different.
Join Liam as he discusses reasons you might use Postgres, and looks at the differences between the two.
