No offense, but that's a pretty small database.  Also, IMHO the crazy part 
is using MySQL over PostgreSQL.  It's hardly any faster, and you have to do 
a *lot* of client-side work to emulate PostgreSQL's built-in functions.  
Unless you use the much slower InnoDB that's now owned by Oracle, in which 
case MySQL gets most of those features (but is no faster than PostgreSQL 
would be).
