Re: [GENERAL] Need concrete "Why Postgres not MySQL"

Hi all!

Can someone explain me why is it usefull if the table created in
transaction disapears on rollback?
Anyway the progress db supports it, at least the version 9.
The other question: why is mysql enemy? Isn`t it just another RDBMS?

Thanks,
Laszlo
