Recently I was thinking about whether I had enough material to warrant a
2008 update to "Why PostgreSQL instead of MySQL"; who would have guessed
that Monty would do most of the research I was considering for me?

I quit using MySQL years ago when the default table type did not have
transactions and subqueries were not existent.  The features I was looking
for were already in PostgreSQL for several versions.

I am surprised to see such an honest post regarding MySQL.

"Sun Picks Up MySQL For $1 Billion" to bad for them they did not go with
PostgreSQL.  :)   

It's free.  The pgsql community, however, is priceless. 

No doubt.  The pgsql community rocks.  In fact the support on this mailing list is top notch and free.  :)

Thank you a million times over to anyone that has give me advice here.  I have never gotten bad advice from this list.
