If it were my choice, i would be using postgresSQL as well, but the clien=
t
is asking for Mysql. They are a particularly arrogant and difficult clien=
t, so
i'm not arguing -- if things break they will be charged full rate ;-).

It's odd how sometimes the more antiquated ways like forking work better.
I would MUCH rather use threads, but postgres seems like a better choice
a lot of the time.
