Dan, here's a deep link into the PostgreSQL advocacy site:
http://advocacy.postgresql.org/advantages/ The site has more. Gee, guys, who'd consider MySQL fit for mission-/life-critical data ? It "supports" silent autot-runcation of values should your application happen to insert an integer too large for a field. It also accepts timestamps like 0000-00-00 00:00.00 and other such helpful features. http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html It has been getting closer but is by far no match for PostgreSQL. I would assume PostgreSQL has been left out of the comparison for a reason. > 2: would PostgreSQL have fewer limitations? Yes.
