	MySQL sucks for anything but very very basic stuff as it supports no  
transactions, foreign keys, procedures, triggers, concurrency, etc.
	Postgresql is a lot better, free, and the psycopg adapter for Postgres is  
*very very* fast (a lot faster than the MySQL one) and it has a  
dictfetchall() method which is worth its weight in donuts !
