hey i like mysql - but may i point out its shortcomings 1) R/W concurrency is *STILL* piss poor even with MAXDB or BDB 2) i don't trust it with my employer's revenue stuff; it has screwed us in the past 3) no subSELECT 4) join functionality is not complete the point is --- mysql is great. i use it a lot. but it's not the be-all, end-all. and it's certainly not a "real database." but the original topic was... POSTGRES! :) which i still think, it addresses many of the issues with MySQL. so allegedly it's better. but i like MySQL better having used them both. but i wouldn't trust my money to postgresql either.. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
