that's the thing. For whatever reason, everyone starts a web project with
mysql underneeth. They even don't structure dbs well, not to mention using
transactions, and stuff like that.
At the end of day, postgresql shares more or less the same queries - if
implemented - and same type of primitive db schema, with all its problems.

You seriously don't want to go that route. Plone is such a pain to support,
and slow thing as well.
