New Open Source Project

[Sergey Kuznetsov]

Hi Paul,

I would recommend you to choose LAPP instead of LAMP (PostgreSQL instead 
of MySQL).
First of all you will have more stable environment, as well as you will 
forget the licensing headache from
future MySQL AB license perturbations, as well as more solid DB ( I 
would say the PostgreSQL is an
OpenSource Oracle ). I have quite a lot of experience with different 
flavors of DB ( Oracle, Sybase,
MS-SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL ) and I had only positive experience only with 
Oracle and PostgreSQL.
MySQL fast on simple queries, and in case if you have only few users who 
is querying DB,
if more users starts to querying or more complex queries at the same 
time - MySQL quite often corrupting
indexes. PG behaves very well in the most of the cases, and shows 
incredible performance on very complex
queries. PG's feature set is just outstanding! Many of features was 
implemented only in PG.

All my ranting is based only on my experience.

All the Best!
Sergey.
