Possibly the only thing I like about MySQL is when performing a search, the values 'SIMON' and 'sImOn' are considered equal���case-insensitive searching. PostgreSQL on the other hand considers them to be different���case-sensitive searching. Now I don't know about you but for %99.999~ of the applications I've ever written, I'd rather 'Australia' and 'AuStRaLiA' weren't considered different countries.
