Its all what one gets used to, I guess .. I can do alot of stuff with 
mysql that I can't with postgresql (ie. run wordpress) ... doesnt' mean 
I'm going to start a general adoption of that ...

We run Mj2 here ... we have for 15 years now and it works ... we have two 
ppl here that know it, and the documentation for Mj2 is such that anyone 
with half a clue could get up to speed on it fairly fast ...

... not through lack of confidence in his ability to manage it, only 
because I never thought of it, and nobody else mentioned it before ... am 
working to rectify that ...
