Hello! I'm in a situation that I'm sure many are familiar with...choosing between MySQL or PostgreSQL. My main goals are stability under high load and ease of use. I don't need transactions. I know the standard comparison: MySQL is faster, simpler, and more popular, while PostgreSQL is slower but is more fully SQL standards based, handles transactions, etc. Are these generally accurate descriptions? I'm wondering what people who have used either (or both!) think about using these (or other databases) in conjunction with Zope. Are there any special cases where one or the other works better or worse with Zope? Donald Braman donald.braman@yale.edu
