[ale] project help - postgres or mysql?

Project I'm ramping up on will involve porting a microcrap sql server db
to either postgres or mysql.  No stored procedures on the sql server side,
thankfully.  Just tables and indexes.

The current db has a total of 227,626 rows, 249 tables.  Only 4 tables are
over 10000...most are either in the 10s or hundreds.  Largest table is
89890.
(for list of counts, see http://sourceillustrated.com/projects/tblcnt.html).

My initial thoughts are to use MySql, but wanted to put the question forth
to the list.  I think mysql would have no problem handling this size, but
want to be sure.

Would postgres be a better choice?

Thanks!

John
