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.

cheers.
