greetings glover and everyone - Here are a few prior discussions. MySQL and PostgreSQL Compared : http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000705.php3"]PHPBuilder.com MySQL Developer Contests PostgreSQL Benchmarks : http://www.devshed.com/BrainDump/MySQL_Benchmarks/ Why Not MySQL : http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html Comparing MySQL and Postgresql : http://slashdot.org/askslashdot/99/08/10/0416205.shtml MySQL offers lighter database fare, but it may leave some users hungry : http://www.zdnet.com/enterprise/stories/linux/news/0,6423,2436155,00.html MySQL Manual : Missing Functions in MySQL, how to deal with them : http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/commented/manual.php?section=Missing_functions From a basic non-technical standpoint , have this to say : - MySQL is everywhere. Most web hosts offer it, many write and talk about it. - PostgreSQL is around. Less web hosts offer it, less write and talk about it. Good day, philip -- be outside the box.
