hi all,
Does anyone know which database more reliable, better performance 
(Mysql, Postgresql or Ingres) ?
I know that current mysql version lack of features such as sub-query, 
store-procedure (i guess will improve it all in version 5) Anything to 
share?
I found out there, there is no way to specify number of connections to 
particular database in postgresql server. any comments?

regards,
kh
