\_ Places I see MySQL falling short for Enterprise Applications.

\_ 2. To my knowledge MySQL is not ACID compliant, Postgres is.

http://www.mysql.com/press/release_2002_11.html

\_ 4. Unicode support does not exist for MySQL.

Coming in 4.1, so the site says.

\_ 5. Stored Procedures are not supported in MySQL.

YMMV.
