mysql 4.x and fedoracore2

[Aly Dharshi]

Personally I believe that there are more features in Postgres, they are 
technically different (unless you define what you mean by that :)). There is a 
conformance to the ACID principles in Postgres which are currently being 
developed or getting there slowly with MySQL or are just simply not there.

Personally Postgres is something that can effectively stand in the same league 
as Oracle and friends. Version 8.0 has some really neat features, such as 
tablespaces for one. http://advocacy.postgresql.org/advantages/ is useful in 
explaining what is available.
