I notice that the pre-installed database for the xs build is PostGres. Now I have nothing against PostGres. It is a fine database, and was a "real" (ACID) database from the start, unlike MySQL. I certainly advocated that it be used in preference to MySQL for de novo projects at clients in the past. But from the standpoint of making a choice that enables the most other open source software to be installed and to run without difficulty, I believe MySQL would be a better choice today, especially since its former deficiencies have largely been rectified. In summary this is a recommendation based on a desire to lower the development costs of reusing software, not a theoretical determination of which database is "better".
Any thoughts? Carol Lerche
