Hi All

I started using PostgreSQL\Postgis in January. Lately I have been
reading on the internet many rumblings about PostgreSQL being slower than
MySQL/SQLLite etc etc. Comparisons made were routine inserts , updates,
and deletes. Is any of this true? If so,are there methods to speed
things up? I used the Explain Analyze command on portgesSQL it seemed
fast although I have not run any other DB's.
I know when comparison tests are performed they can be tilted on these
internet sites. But I see so many people declaring PostgreSQL to be the
slowest I am thinking where there is smoke there's fire.
