Slow, i'm not going to argue cause it's "fast enough for me" and I don't have numbers. Hard to use ? What do you find hard ? I find it aboslutly devine to use, and mysql to be cludgy and awkward. The reason for that is cause of my experience and familiarity, I don't blame MySQL. Questionable Reliability : Where did this come from ? Over the past 6 years I've been writing webapps, postgres has never screwed up on me... I think your claim is a highly personal opinion. Regarding teh rest of your email, I have got to agree with you, most web apps use way more resources than they could possibly need, but you know what ? As a counter to your argument if you needed Oracle you'd just use Oracle VS PgSQL, in my life, if i only needed MySQL, i'd use SQL Lite. It's a holy war folks, w.a.r. = we are right. that's how they get started :) Jeff.
