Hi Alan,
Yes. The 'MySQL Gotchas' page details specifically some of the tricky
areas that are MySQL-specific:
http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html
Postgres behaves a lot like Python in that it'll die early rather than try
to guess at what the user means. Postgres handles bad data much more
responsibly, and usually doesn't quietly fail the way that MySQL does.
Best of wishes!
