 From what I've been hearing, PostgreSQL is no slower than MySQL these 
days... or at least only a bit.

That said, life without transactions (!!), enforced foreign key 
constraints, views, triggers, etc - I think I'll keep them. Designing a 
database with MySQL makes you put so much more of its function into the 
application, and I've found it makes it harder to do multiple compatable 
front-ends, etc. I'm now playing with inheritance on tables - very, very 
cool.
