No need. It's the best DB... Until you need something portable

My laptops runs postgres, but it is still pretty portable

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

What do you mean by "portable"?

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Just if you need to be able to take it with you.

The whole point of a database is that you leave it where it is though

I think the OP is trying to talk about SQLite, so yeah, he could really be talking about carrying it on his phone.

But it's just such a weird word to use there that I can't really be sure.

Or portable like on a USB stick that you can put in any computer instead of installed on a single system.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Either way, the funny thing is that Postgres can do both too. You may not want to use it for those, but you absolutely can.

Ohhhh right, that's the base part right?

[-] yucandu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm running it on a raspberry pi, how much more portable could you need?
