I'd have to concur with Rob.  Postgres seems to be a very feature rich and stable 
database.  We are looking to moving some of our Oracle databases to it.  MySQL seems 
to get much more press, but it simply lacks many features required for serious 
database use (stored procedures, transactions, sub-selects, etc).  This is not 
intended to start a Postgres vs MySQL war (as both have zealots).  MySQL is very good 
at the things it does.  But because of it's limitations, it doesn't fit our specific 
needs.
