MySQL was easy to use and fast to deploy, just what the Internet boom needed. With a first production release coming out in 1998, MySQL is a teenaged global superstar and one of the world’s most widely used relational databases. The immaturity of MySQL is starting to show for many organizations whose Internet applications have grown in importance and in complexity that has moved rapidly beyond MySQL’s ability to service specific needs. Concerns over MySQL’s performance and operational quirks have lit up database forums as data demands have expanded and companies have begun to place greater value on their information. The continuing uncertainty over Oracle’s ownership of MySQL’s intellectual property and control over the development as well as subsequent multiple forks of the open source project has also prompted many MySQL users to abandon the database or seek other open source based alternatives. Google, Wikipedia and Red Hat are some of the largest companies to recently abandon MySQL. Destination Postgres Postgres has become the leading destination for many enterprise © 2014 EnterpriseDB Corporation. All rights reserved.

A survey conducted in spring 2012 by The 451 Group found that Postgres was the most popular alternative for MySQL users planning to quit the database. “MySQL became the default database of choice for web applications. However, in many cases, it has been stretched beyond its capacity, especially for applications with growing transaction rates and growing numbers of concurrent users,” said Matt Aslett, analyst at The 451 Group, in a corporate release revealing the findings of another survey about MySQL users experiencing difficulties scaling. What You'll Find in Postgres Postgres’ long-term support for and focus on server side programs (triggers and stored procedures), ACID compliance, data and referential integrity, and fine-grained access controls are much more mature and stable than MySQL, which only recently has started implementing some of these features. While not an exhaustive side-by-side comparison, the following are a few key differences between Postgres and MySQL and some of the benefits data professionals will find in working with Postgres. Native Acid Compliance MySQL achieves ACID compliance through a separate storage engine, like InnoDB. Sidestepping the intricacies of database development that adhered to generally accepted standards for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability (ACID) of transaction data was the price many users paid for the simplicity and speed of deploying MySQL. ACID compliance would have made the database more complex and when web development was moving at Internet speed there wasn’t time to invest in understanding existing open source relational databases like Postgres. © 2014 EnterpriseDB Corporation.

Organizations are also putting greater value on their data and determining they require the rigors of true ACID compliance. Greater Security At the developer level, Postgres offers greater capacity for setting security parameters than MySQL. Similar to MySQL, Postgres restricts certain users to certain kinds of data access. Postgres calls these “roles” and they are managed by the commands CREATE ROLE, ALTER ROLE, and DROP ROLE. However, unlike MySQL, Postgres enables these to be linked to system users, allowing Postgres to offer different forms of authentication to the database: ident server authentication, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server authentication, a pluggable authentication module (PAM) and Kerberos. For local connections, developers can use filesystem permissions by changing who can access the UNIX domain socket and where it is located. Other authentication types that Postgres supports include Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), RADIUS, Trust, Password, the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSSAPI) and the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI). Greater Language Support Postgres provides application developers more choices of languages for writing server-side programs with triggers, stored procedures and functions. With Postgres, it is highly likely that the language used by the developer to write the client side of their application (GUI and business logic) is also available on the server side with more business logic and functions better situated in the database for security and performance.

Postgres also offers the following Library interfaces: OCI, libpq, JDBC, ODBC, .NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, C/C++, PHP, Lisp, Scheme, and Qt. Extensibility and Predictability Postgres was designed from inception to be highly extensible. As a result, there are very few edge cases, compared to many in MySQL, which require developers to continually pay significant attention to, and memorize, documentation. There are other benefits to the extensibility of Postgres as well, such as: • Wide variety of built-in data types including JSON, XML, HSTORE (key-value), Geo-spatial (PostGIS), IPv6 • Flexible indexing, featuring composite indexes, GiST, SP- GiST, GIN, Full Text Search, online index reorganization • Background workers such as a managed process known as Mongress, which accepts MongoDB queries to interface with Postgres data • Contrib module interface: pgcrypto (data encryption), pg_trgm (find 'similar' data), HSTORE (schema-less data) • Extensive SQL support, whereas MySQL's SQL support is limited. For example, there are no hierarchical queries with CONNECT BY, INTERSECT in MySQL. PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus The open source community PostgreSQL, often called simply Postgres, is guided by a highly principled PostgreSQL Global Development Group and contributions come from what is now the world’s largest independent open source development community. As stated, Postgres has emerged as a powerful alternative to proprietary relational database management systems and as noted, is the leading open source alternative to MySQL. Advances in Postgres over the past three years have added powerful © 2014 EnterpriseDB Corporation. All rights reserved. EnterpriseDB and Postgres Plus are trademarks of EnterpriseDB Corporation.

With each new release from the community, EnterpriseDB (EDB) has also advanced its Postgres Plus Advanced Server software with security, performance and manageability enhancements that most large or security-conscious organizations require. Recent performance enhancements have emphasized processor core scalability, partitioning, sorting, indexing, lock management and optimizer hints to enable EDB's flagship Postgres Plus database to handle applications across all mission tiers. Further, EDB has developed enterprise-class tools to enable database administrators to easily manage more, and bigger, Postgres database deployments with regard to monitoring, tuning, high availability and replication. In addition, the Oracle compatibility in Postgres Plus Advanced Server provides popular Oracle data types and catalog views and a procedural language that executes Oracle PL/SQL and understands Oracle SQL extensions and syntax. This enables organizations to migrate from Oracle to Postgres or co-exist with Oracle while driving down costs and continuing to utilize much of their investment in Oracle applications, tools and training. Further, Postgres is SQL-standards

  • Install Perl Modules
    How to install OTRS (Open Source Trouble Ticket System) on Ubuntu 16.04 Prerequisites Ubuntu 16.04. Min 2GB of Memory. Root privileges. Step 1 - Install Apache and PostgreSQL In this first step, we will install the Apache web server and PostgreSQL. We will use the latest versions from the Ubuntu repository. Login to your Ubuntu server with SSH: ssh [email protected] Update Ubuntu repository. sudo apt-get update Install Apache2 and a PostgreSQL with the apt: sudo apt-get install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2 postgresql Then make sure that Apache and PostgreSQL are running by checking the server port. netstat -plntu You will see port 80 is used by apache, and port 5432 used by PostgreSQL database. Step 2 - Install Perl Modules OTRS is based on Perl, so we need to install some Perl modules that are required by OTRS. Install perl modules for OTRS with this apt command: sudo apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-perl2 libdbd-pg-perl libnet-dns-perl libnet-ldap-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libpdf-api2-perl libsoap-lite-perl libgd-text-perl libgd-graph-perl libapache- dbi-perl libarchive-zip-perl libcrypt-eksblowfish-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl libencode-hanextra- perl libjson-xs-perl libmail-imapclient-perl libtemplate-perl libtemplate-perl libtext-csv-xs-perl libxml-libxml-perl libxml-libxslt-perl libpdf-api2-simple-perl libyaml-libyaml-perl When the installation is finished, we need to activate the Perl module for apache, then restart the apache service. a2enmod perl systemctl restart apache2 Next, check the apache module is loaded with the command below: apachectl -M | sort And you will see perl_module under 'Loaded Modules' section.

PAIPIX: a live linux based on KNOPPIX/DEBIAN with special emphasis on scientific packages including ROOT Motivation (students) ● A live system requiring no installation ● Including latex to be able to undestand the source arXiv scientific papers. ● Including code development environments ● It should also support portuguese State of the art Several live systems available based either on Debian: KNOPPIX...or Gentoo. The major Linux releases like REDHAT or SUSE include a live DVD. While KNOPPIX was by far the best and most used, it did not met our goals Motivation (Supplement) The informatics people at my University discouraged me to do anything.... Choices ● Compressed file system of KNOPPIX seemed the best ● There was information around on how to extend modify the CD images ● It was based on the powerful and free Debian system ● Including only full Latex implied already to go from CD to DVD ● Once we opted for DVD the road was open to include: ●Scientific applications available in Debian ●New scientific applications by creating Debian packages ●Also the SERVER tools like web, database and Content M.
