Whether or not the default table type is changed to InnoDB, in the spirit of the original poster's question, and what I think Sinisa is trying to get you to admit, transaction support is no longer one of the issues to consider when comparing MySQL to PostgreSQL. MySQL supports transactions *now*.
Transactions "everywhere" is really a meanlingless comparison point. If anything, MySQL wins on this point. What if I don't want it everywhere? Point being, in MySQL you have a choice. That said, depending on your requirements, there are still compelling reasons to choose PostgreSQL - subselects, triggers, user defined types, etc. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]=20 > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Trond=20 > Eivind Glomsr=F8d > Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 3:15 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: PostgreSQL >=20 >=20 > Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >=20 > > Trond Eivind Glomsr=F8d writes: > > > Sinisa Milivojevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > >=20 > > > There is a slight difference between advanced, non-standardized=20 > > > tuning/backup/load-balancing like that and core SQL functionality=20 > > > not being present. > >=20 > > This depends on the definition.
