MySQL is no good for us because:
- It lacks foreign key constraints.
- It lacks subselects.
- It lacks transactions (well, InnoDB has transactions, but IMO they are still
immature.)
- Its licensing is a problem if you want to use it for commercial purposes.
This is really the killer for us; the other points could probably be
worked around.
PostgreSQL poses no such problems.
