Let's say something we can agree on: MySQL has a subset of SQL92, with some extensions of its own. It's fine for single-table updates, and multi-table joins. PostgreSQL is a full-function database, with multi-table transactions, SQL92 compliance, stored procedures, views and functions. It's good when you want the power of Oracle, but not the per-seat cost. Some people are fine (or at least familiar) with MySQL's subset functionality. Some people need everything a real database has to offer, and choose PostgreSQL instead. It's up to you. Me, I'm not recommending *any* new MySQL installations... I'm going totally with Pg. -- Randal L.
