Re: newbie question

Transactions (well, recently mysql allows them but using propietary 
extensions), foreign key relationships, subqueries, stored 
procedures/triggers. MySQL lacks all of these.

On the other side, postgres is only ported on *nix platforms, but you 
can put cygwin/cygipc on Windows, if that is the case. And mysql is 
"friendlier", that means wrong column value types (INT_VALUE = '5') and 
double quotes working as simple quotes, so it's easier to start with.

As far as I can remember.
