I have my own complaints about MySQL, but the InnoDB table option (which supports transactions and foreign keys) is very fast. Yahoo Finance uses it, and I doubt I will ever do anything as performance sensitive as that. InnoDB has also been around for quite a while, although the addition to the standard MySQL distro only happened about two years ago. Nothing against Pg, which still does other things that MySQL does not, but I don't think transaction support is a valid reason for choosing it over MySQL these days. - Perrin _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
