[lug] MySQL vs PostgreSQL

[Dan Ferris]

MySQL is very loosy goosey with your data by default.

Here is a comparison that shows how MySQL behaves vs. Postgres.  I think 
you can make MySQL much stricter, but you would not want to use the 
default settings anywhere you cared about data integrity.

The downside of Postgres is that it's not easy.  I have been dealing 
with it for 2 years and I still suck at it. :)
