Here there are some special warnings in using PostgreSQL DBMS.

  • Now support for PostgreSQL is complete. The only thing you have to do is creating an UTF-8-encoded database (see “-encoding” option for “createdb”).

  • Now the good things. I noticed that it's really fast in writing data. Although it seems to be slower in the reading process. I tested with a big list of small files (HVSC SID files if you are interested in C64 music...). It was the faster among the tree DBMSs supported.

    MySQL was pretty fast (the previous “slowness” was due to a bug of Medi!!!), but read process is faster.

    Firebird as fast as MySQL (a pair of hours) but slower in the reading process.

    PostgreSQL was the fastest (few minutes) but when I try to retrieve information, it was the slowest... Take your conclusions...
