Well MySQL's focus has been on performance first. PostgreSQL focuses more on being fully featured. This is not to say that PostgreSQL will be noticably slower for most things, or that MySQL is a barebones featureset. In general I would say that if one wants to make the most out of an SQL database (and isn't running up against serious performance issues) PostgreSQL would be my recommendation. But that's just my opinion. ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++: a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L+++>++++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t+ 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
