I've been using PG very lightly for quite awhile, (although I"ve read through all but the programmer's manual once or twice). I loved when I got to PG and it had Oracle like features, "A real database!". This is after using MySQL, which I first though, "I'm programming a website off a simple, easy to use, non msoft product, yippee!".

Well, now I am writing a proposal, which among many other points, proposes to switch from the current hosting site of a non profit to a slightly more expensive one running PostgreSQL, (where I have some other projects.) I want to use as my main argument, the fact (at this time, only from my previous usage), that MySQL really doesn't have foreign keys or record locking, and Postgres does.

I will be trusted to say this, and I don't have to reprint the manuals from each DB in my proposal, or maybe I will. But anyway, I'm still correct with today's MySQL vs. PostgreSQL, right? I *really* want to use PostgreSQL for this project and not MySQL as I want to avoid growing pains trying to get MySQL to do the job of a bigger DB down the road.
