>> I'm curious as to what type of application you run and what first >> prompted you to switch to postgresql?
I would like to add my 2 cents to this although I have not been asked by anyone about this :-) If I remember correctly the fact about 7 years ago... when PostgreSQL already supported - sub-query - transaction - triggers - stored procedures (functions) , mySQL did not have any of these critical and essential capabilities required by any serious bussiness applications. When I noticed that fact, I have never turned my head back to mySQL again since then. Why? Because I thought I would take a train instead of a plane (if it indeed is), when I am 100% sure that the plane will not fly due to bad wether.
