Some examples: This is *really* fascinating but pg transactional engine is very mature and solid. Before any of the should-be-really-transactional-engine of MySQL will be as mature as pg's one, pg will have a lot more feature/speed/development sugar. If I didn't need a transactional engine I'd be happy to go (well not really happy[1]) with MySQL and any of its engines. It is nice to reuse and mix and match different tools. [1] I find some inconsistency of mysql a bit painful to live with... as I find some inconsistency in PHP equally irritating but they are there, quite diffused and still for certain domains the best compromise available. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
