I would like to connect Zope to a database, so I have setup both PostgreSQL and MySQL. My reading tells me that MySQL is probably the better choice as a web backend (Any comments from those of you more knowledgable than I would be appreciated!)
My experience was MySQL had better support for large streams of text data and blobs than PostgreSQL. However, MySQL also lacks support for transactions. This probably contributes to its speed, which in turn makes it popular for web apps. Best regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.
