Hello Guido; I have to concur; PG has been really great for me and I have had some problems with MySQL. The most serious problem with MySQL was memory-exhaustion in the driver, but the latest MySQL driver has seemed to _finally_ resolved that one. I have to also concur with Mike though in that I did try to take pgpool (replication only) to a production environment and it was not a happy morning and I had to roll it back. If I had to choose between the two for a small WOA, I would definitely lean towards PG because of the trouble-free operations I've experienced. I notice there are a number of companies offering support for larger PG deployments.
