Of course!  Critics are your friends!  How good do you think books
would be if the editors never *used* their red pens?  Good,
constructive critiscism is something that you MUST learn to accept and
at best even welcome, since it's the only real way we can get a better
end-product.

Yeah, I was just curious about why the two were different.  For my
needs ATM MySQL should work just fine - it's free, Open Source, fast,
stable, and well known and supported.  However, I was really curious
as to why one could be better than the other - to me SQL is SQL no
matter how I look at it.
