Not necessarily. People who care about databases actually supporting SQL properly and performing properly will prefer PostgreSQL. I don't like to be forced to run a MySQL instance as well. It's often the laziness of developers that causes the difficulty of supporting a different database when they started with MySQL. If you start with a different one, like PostgrSQL, supporting different database engines is very simple. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
