MySQL and Postrgres come from two different backgrounds. Postgres was created as an academic product, while MySQL was created to solve a real-life problem. Thus Posgres is more academically correct, while MySQL will deviated from academic correctness to achieve better performance and improve user experience. I suppose for a small business academic correctness is not as important as actually getting the job done. That said, I have not looked at Postgres in a long, long time. However, I do understand that Postgres has addressed many of the issues that held it back in the past. Nevertheless, for most users MySQL has been good enough, so there is rarely a reason to look for something else. -- Sasha Pachev AskSasha Linux Consulting http://asksasha.com Fast Running Blog. http://fastrunningblog.com Run.
