cheaper will be to use notepad :happyface:

"cheaper" is just one parameter to take into consideration out of of tens of parameters, but we cannot know what best fit your needs, only you should know. Good luck with any decision to got.

    postgresSQL is a well balanced and well known database. With out understand our company needs and how we are using it makes it difficult for you to comment on in intelligently.
    If we are using only 50% of the capabilities of MS SQL and PostgresSQL can do everything we need but is 1/2 the price to get the servers running then yes it is Cheaper. and it will do everything we need it to.

      Hi steve60 

       

      > postgresSQL is a well balanced and well known database.

       

      You are totally current. It is a great database server which can fit most cases. My last response was not related to this specific solution but just noted about the reason you mentioned "cheaper". I just wanted to emphasize that cheaper is just one parameter when you select the solution.

       

      I am sure your will have an awesome system

       

      Have a great day
