Re: Comparative performance

Postgresql uses MVCC to ensure data integrity. Server must choose the right
version of tuple, according to transaction ID of statement. Even for a
select (ACID features of postgresql, I think C and I apply here), it must
accomplish some extra work.

Yes indeed.  When I added the REFERENCES to the schema and reran the
conversion
scripts, aside from having to reorder the table creation and loading (they
used
to be in alphabetical order), I also found a few referential integrity
errors in
the MySQL data.
