Well - it looks as if the comming mySql 5.0 release will have stored procedures.

When you tell mySql has more users, where did you get that information?
Can you prove it?

It might be more easy to have less bugs, if you have less features. But since postgresql had views and subqueries when I first used it in 1996, bugs might have been removed since years.
MySQL 5 has no known bugs. MySQL don't release anything unless it can pass it's tests which include testing test cases for ALL known bugs, and speed tests. If it has a known bug or is not as fast as a previous version then it doesn't get released. So in saying that, MySQL 5 is stable enough to use.

MySQL has more users I was told by someone who works at MySQL.. well it's downloaded 20,000 times a day. I'm not sure what the dowloads for postgresql are, but I'm inclined to believe MySQL.
