in reply to [OT] SQL "on duplicate key" custom action
If you have the choice, choose PostgreSQL. It might not matter in the beginning, but projects tend to grow in complexity and PostgreSQL is a much better fit when it comes to complex data handling tasks and keeping your data integrity intact.
Also, if you like PerlMonks, you will most likely enjoy working with the PostgreSQL community.
