[olug] DB Servers

[Chris Garrity]

Postgres supports more advanced features --- but smaller row. I think's 
an 8k limit on row size (or something). MySQL doesn't have this rowsize 
limit, but doesn't do external references (although it understands the 
SQL syntax for references, it don't implement 'em).
