Hello Ed,

Thanks a lot for your response.

As I'm used to work with Oracle and reading back the story os PostgreSQL and
having a shallow knoledge of the engine, in general, I will choose it over
MySQL.

Anyway, it shoul be very nice to somehow get a comparison chart to have handy
the evident diffs between the engines.

Regds,

F.
