(first of all, sry about my english)

Ive been studing postgres and mysql, and they have theirs pros and cons.

For me postgresql pros:

- Im using OLAP, dont have alot of data today, but its growing, and is 
very intensive query, everyone say that postgresql is better on complex 
queries.

- pl/ruby, this can help offloading somes intensive operations from 
application to databse, and programming in ruby :) (very, very, very 
nice!)

For me mysql pros:

- Easy to setup

- Scalling is easy

- Have more administrative tools

Maybe i can have both databases, the main mysql running the whole 
website, something like the 37signalx box, lots of cores and memory and 
one postgresql database to run olap queries. What you guys think about 
it!?

One thin im worry about in Mysql is data integrity, this is solved using 
InnoDB? or still Postgres more safe? Im talking about everything, 
transactions, corrupted data, incosistent data and so.

Another question, about full text search, its better stick with the one 
inside de database or something external like Sphinx!? Im worring about 
speed and easy of use.

Thanks everyone for helping me :)
