[mv] MySQL vs PostgreSQL

Hi, listees! :)

I'm in the process of upgrading my Minivend customers to MV 4, and I will
converting my shops from the GDBM format to SQL.  I'm researching which SQL
package to use.  I'm a bit concerned about MySQL, since it doesn't support
transactions and referential integrity, as I understand.  PostgreSQL does
have referential integrity and transactions, but doesn't have as many admin
applications.  Any advise on to which package to use would be very helpful.
Will MiniMate allow my clients to update their products and inventory
databases?

Also, can the shipping tables be done in SQL?

Thanks,
Brian
