RE: MySQL has transactions

speed with tranactions on
row level locking
I though that postgresql had more data type
extensable interface
choice of index types
better performance under load
triggers
to name a few. Has anyone actually benchmarked mySQL with transations
enabled?

Now that MySQL has transaction support through Berkeley DB lib, and it's
always had way more data types, what are the main advantages postgresql has
over it? I don't think mysql has subselects and such, but they did add a
master-slave replication feature as well as online reorganization (perhaps
locks tables like vacuum?).

Anybody used both of the current releases who can comment?

Thanks,
David
