You may also wish to check out Ben Adida's article "Why Not MySQL" for
an extended discussion of MySQL's current strengths and limitations.
See http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html.

See also Tim Perdue's article Open Source Databases: As The Tables
Turn at http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001112.php3. Perdue of
compares his experiences with MySQL v. PostgreSQL.
