Comment on PostgreSQL 16 Released
Buckshot@programming.dev 9 months agoWe use SQL Server at work and I really don’t get why. It’s so expensive. We’re hosting it on AWS as well. I can’t remember the numbers but it’s several times more than a similarly specced postgres and we’re only using Standard edition.
I don’t think we’re really using any features that would stop us moving over, it’s really just inertia and in-house knowledge.

Sounds like an opportunity to be the shepherd of change that saves the company money.
Beware of one-trick database admins (if you have those) and salespeople who earn their living fighting such changes.

Yeah I’ve been dropping not very subtle hints. We’re only a small company, about 25 people. We don’t have any dedicated database admins at all.
It’s on the list I think but we don’t have the people to spare to get it done.

Fair, but also beware of confusing a specialist with a one-trick-pony.
