Can't emphasize enough how much I wish GCE had PostgreSQL support. Managing and maintaining our database is something I'd love to hand off to my cloud provider. MySQL simply doesn't cut it these days, and RDS has made me happy and lazy.
can't agree enough. MySQL's quirks make me want to gouge my brain, and it's not going to solidify into a competitive db engine any Time soon. Let's say mariadb added something like hstore--would I ever get that patch?
