My only real concern with MySQL is that it doesn't support stored procedures - and they are a cornerstone to any decent database driven application.
Now, I could be wrong, I've been hearing rumors that the next version was supposed to support SPs, and that might be out already for all I know.... I don't know if Postgres supports SPs or not. (For the record, Oracle, Sybase, and MS SQL Server support SPs). Shawn -----Original Message----- From: J.

I guess I don't have any clever technical answer to give you. It's just that I've been to www.mysql.com and really liked what I saw. It gave me the "impression" that there's a lot of support and it's very popular database engine. I've also spent quite a bit of time already getting familiar with it and don't have a lot of time to start getting acquainted with another database engine. I wouldn't mind trying postgress, but perhaps with another project. Would you mind sharing with me why you prefer Postgres over MySQL? Thank you Andrew.
