Hi Dan,
Everything listed in this document looks correct except for the
"Transaction Support" item. MySQL with the InnoDB table type does support
transactions. Nevertheless, MySQL has been an excellent solution for many
of our projects. This table should include another row "Cross Platform".
MySQL runs on many different platforms including Windows, Linux, etc.
Unfortunately, since I've never used PostgreSQL, I cannot comment on the
PostgreSQL limitations. However, I do think PostgreSQL does have foreign
key support.
Regards,
Jeff Gunther
