I agree with that.. While I can start/stop/use postgresql in sleep, I can not say for sure how to start mysql from command-line.. I just found it astonishigly difficult to start and manage.. Only way I could get it working was to link /var/lib/mysql to a spacious location and use mysql service. And I am not satisfied with startup scripts provided with distros. They are usually dumber than expected( Long time back, I wrote to mandrake to have configurable database location after release of Mandrake 8.0.. No luck so far..) > The need for vacuum makes Postgres work less well straight > out of the box, if you don't know about it your performance > will slowly go down the drain.

(**)) In other words, 7.3 has good performance as it is. So if you vacuum, you will see a really blazing performance..
