Comment on Postgres as queueparent

Comments

you can certainly encode queue in many ways. mkfifo just work. But integrating the queue in the DB isn't a bad idea if you want to have both the queue and the db in a shared state.

I am happy that my queue inherit ACID properties.

SQLite simply doesn't allow concurrent write so it is a no go for a queue.

I don't know much about SQL Server and MySQL but I wouldn't favor a lockin closed source software or anything remotely connected to Oracle.

At the end, only Postgresql remains I guess. Also, Postgresql is super solid and the closest to SQL standard.

If that's a concern, then MariaDB is another alternative. Postgres isn't the only option in town.

EDIT: I'm correcting myself here because as far as I can tell, LISTEN NOTIFY equivalent capabilities are only available in MariaDB's SkyQL fully managed services offering, and not in the base MariaDB Community Server.

Are you certain about that?

You’re wrong that I’m wrong.
