Re: [TriLUG] Interesting article: Ellison: Linux will wipe Microsoftout of the data center

Stored procedures (PL/pgSQL or C).  Triggers.  I can't remember if Mysql 
supports BLOBs or not, but Postgres does.  Up until 4.x there wasn't any 
transaction support (Commit/Rollback) in Mysql.

What are some specific features that PostgreSQL has over MySQL.  I keep 
hearing people say this, but wonder what specifically am I missing out on.

Thanks in advance.

If, by "basics", you mean "the rudimentary storing and retrieving of 
data", then MySQL might be easier.  But if you mean basics = "learning a 
standard set of features I would expect to find in other RDBMS suites", 
then I would probably go with Postgres... to the best of my knowledge, 
it's a little more feature-robust.  MySQL is decent, I write against it 
every day at work, but Postgres has some things that we wish MySQL did, 
and I don't know that they've even been put into 4.x...
