Me too--that's why I wrote it! So my plan is to keep this on the Wiki
for, say, two weeks, then convert what we've got at that point to
techdocs.

Was trying to get the low-level stuff that many people miss done first.
For the big picture, it would be easy enough to mash up
http://monstera.man.poznan.pl/wiki/index.php/Mysql_vs_postgres with
updates to current at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/roadmap.html
for the MySQL side, while
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Feature_Matrix should be useful
for updating the PG side.
