Can you embed Postgres? Before I got turned on to SQLite, MySQL

I don't see that as a downside, it's not what I use it for. Like you
say, there's SQLite for that. Try embedding MySQL into a non-GPL
project and see how free it is then! :(
PostgreSQL 8.0's support of Win32 will help things, too.
For some, I guess. I wouldn't want to run a production app on a
Windows box anyway! But yeah, it's there and supposedly even simpler
to get going than MySQL is on Windows! (though I have never tried
MySQL on windows, but Postgres's installer is very good)
As much as people criticize MySQL's replication and clustering,
where's
Postgres's? I don't see any mention of it in Postgres 8.1 docs:
Nope, just 3rd party products. Supposedly good, but I have never
tried them.
The docs also don't mention any GIS support.
The comunity does, though. PostGIS is quite mature. And I am making
good use of the point datatype and it's related operators to search
for stuff in a radius around a postcode, very efficient.
don't see a compelling reason to try and convert a shop over to
Postgres. Just the same, I don't feel a big need to migrate folks
onto
Maybe not with MySQL 5 and InnoDB anymore. I would run a mile from
previous versions, though. And as those didn't have stored procs,
porting would be easy.

How is that a bad limit? The 2K pages and varchar(255) were terrible,
but 16K isn't a problem. Yes, you still can't do 2GB varchars, but
neither can Oracle or any of the "big 4" databases. (though not sure
about DB2) You have to go to a free one for that.

Personally, I have never in any CMS system had more than 16K in any
CLOB. 16K is a freakin' big amount of text for a website! In any case
it seems to be better than Oracle's 4000.
I'm glad you like Sybase. Someone has to; better you than me, for
sure.

Hehe, ditto, and also for your love of Oracle! :) Isn't AOL still a
big Sybase shop anyways?
