Mysql is www.tcx.se.
As I understand the essential difference is as follows:
PostgreSQL is a genuine attempt to produce an SQL/92 RDBMS. [Some would
say misguided].
MySQL doesn't try very hard to be SQL92 conformant, but is *very* fast
indeed. It doesn't do transactions (but has a custom locking syntax which
is faster....), but does fast joins..
YMMV. Go read about them ;)_
