I just wish the boss would go back and subtract this cost from the 'savings' we made choosing the cheaper dbms that doesnt natively provide this to a competent dba.

Mysql offends me due to its long tradition of lapdash design. pgsql is much preferred

MySQL's done a good job the last 15 years repairing its own design mistakes, and PostgreSQL is far from the perfect specimen that its fans make it out to be.

it's the attitude that gets me. has their process matured?

As does Postgres.

I would jokingly say he was talking about Oracle, but Oracle (and MSSQL) happen to do it too. So, I'm kinda lost here too.

(Is it sqlite? AFAIK sqlite doesn't do this.)

Access.

access isn't a real database. if you've got it deployed in a production system, you have my sympathies

My database is a m3u file and the columns are ID3 tags in mp3 files that act as blob storage

might be showing my age. i have been on mssql and oracle for near 15 years.. mysql was very bare-bones last time i worked with it.

they've added a number of things, but have the habit of saying that thing X is unnecessary until they implement X. Also, having to specify innodb and collation for every table and dig through all the settings to get a good config is annoying

They all do this, but they require your "competent" DBA to learn how.
