I do not approve or disapprove of your choice of Postgres over MySQL.
To best of my knowledge, Postgres does not have media (or point in time) recovery, at all.
The only thing possible is a consistent backup, resulting in a SQL dump. No clues how
long it will take to restore it.
What is the plan to get around without it for critical databases?
Thanks and regards Karen Abgarian
PS. It is my first post to this list and to any list. I replied to the sender and CC'ed the list.
I apologize if that was wrong. If so, there are valid reasons to refer me to the list doco,
but I lost it :-).

It would seem, to me, that the two are close competitors (both in
quality, and performance).
Are you sure about quality? Check out:

You can check out postgresql's on the same site but they are significally less critical. After reviewing this and talking to some other people i'm switching over to postgresql. I'm sure there is a place with mysql but I don't think i'd trust it for anything critical unless you very confident your developers know what they are doing.
