Sorry to hi-jack this thread but, I'd be interested to hear why you are
moving from PostgreSQL to MySQL?. The reason I asked is not to start
another MySQL v.s. PostgreSQL flame war but, I would like to hear your
reasons as you always have very interesting insights and constructive
opinions which I enjoyed reading. :) 

I have heard many reviews/articles etc on web sites which give some
information for pros and cons etc. by some author which I really have no
idea of their "real" expertise in the field. Having used MySQL and
PostgreSQL myself for quite sometimes, I personally prefer PostgreSQL so
it would be interesting to hear your opinions why you are moving away
from it.

Cheers, Opec.
