Anyone have any definitive differences betweeen these two databases in terms
of performance, scalability, ease of use, utilities, etc? I'm looking for
facts and/or anecdotal truths - not opinions. Thanks.

When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!").
Thanks.

Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend
time analysing and attempting to help, please
do not top post.

mysql keeps surprising me with regard to how many things are missing or

spend more time testing and validating their additions, leaving a more
consistent product.
