Hi Bob!
That would make a very interesting study. Attempting to come up with a
I'm rooting for PostgreSQL to become the open source app that ate
Oracle. MySQL will never be capable of that, but I don't think it
needs to be. There will always be a niche for small, quirky apps that
have just enough functionality to get the job done and keep the

On the contrary, MySQL is much better at handling table crashes and data corruption
than PostgreSQL is. What you may have heard is that due to lack of transaction
support, critical data may be lost "in transit" from your application to the database,
in the event of a system crash or a dropped
As for a full comparison between the two, I think the bottom line is
that MySQL is slightly more light-weight, but easier to use and faster
than PostgreSQL. So if you're looking for a database for a relatively
noncritical web application, I'd say go with MySQL, especially since
