MySQL does support BLOB equivalents (called TEXT I believe), and what I've heard is that they perform much better than Postgres. But yes, the lack of stored procedures and triggers does make MySQL much less useful. I haven't played with MySQL 4 yet, but the 3.23 versions don't even support row-level locking or transactions (unless you use a non-free(dom) software table type). --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/
