MySQL lacks all of these. On the other side, postgres is only ported on *nix platforms, but you can put cygwin/cygipc on Windows, if that is the case. And mysql is "friendlier", that means wrong column value types (INT_VALUE = '5') and double quotes working as simple quotes, so it's easier to start with. As far as I can remember.
