MYSQL Help

[The-Last-Escape]

I finally delved into the world of databasing, as always I start comparing what is available and I run across this.  Again, I am obsessed with standards compliant, I believe compliant on anything related to web design that can follow some sort of standard, I try to follow.  About mysql, I do some searches and I find this.

now keep in mind it only compares open source, so it doesn't do the other databases.

But this is what I have a problem with I want advice on.

I don't like MaxDB, Firebird,  Ingres

I just don't like the way they look, but on Mysql, and Postgresql, I had a few problems here I wanted advice on

it seems to be a throwdown, there is one thing I am confused about I will get to that, but when I look through it I see.

Mysql supports more platforms

Mysql has a possibility of High speed, while postgresql doesn't

Mysql seems to have a higher ability for stability

mysql security features seem to be higher

Mysql has more programming interfaces

more storage engines

Load balancing

The thing that turned me off to mysql and hte main thing bothering me is the

SQL STANDARDS COMPLIANCE

The post gre sql is higher on that that mysql.  Isn't that a bad thing, or compared does that mean nothing, I am really confuseda bout this, should I sacrifice some compliancy, for the benefit of extra functionality.

Edit- also would MySql be acid compliant.
