Exactly. But as I wrote before - tweaking and tuning wasn't so
important... You cannot use the same db structure in both databases -
even if you think that all indexes, keys are well for MySQL it could be
not sufficient for PostgreSQL. Many people use the same structure and
they see that PostgreSQL is slower... so I just wanted to tell them,
that it is necessary to re-check structure which will be used with PG.

It's analysis system for automotive market. There are many complicated
querys, with many joins... PostgreSQL is much more flexible, more
powerful and more stable than MySQL. There are also many other features
which are just not available in MySQL...
