Now that MySQL has transaction support through Berkeley DB lib, and it's
always had way more data types, what are the main advantages postgresql has
over it? I don't think mysql has subselects and such, but they did add a
master-slave replication feature as well as online reorganization (perhaps
locks tables like vacuum?).

Anybody used both of the current releases who can comment?

Thanks,
David
