Re: POSTGRES/MYSQL

+1 for Postgres here. We moved to it from Oracle 15 years ago and have
never looked back for a second.

mySQL databases over the same period have needed occasional repairs that
Postgres never has. We couldn't possibly choose mySQL over Postgres now;
the feature list of mySQL is so inferior we'd need to come up with some
major engineering patches.
