What good is Postgres for scoop?  Honestly nothing.  I moved to Postgres 
for a bunch of features that MySQL didn't have (triggers, transactions, 
FK's, etc...).  YMMV.  The important part of my post is that the default 
schema needs some indexing.  Last I checked, MySQL should support 
indexes, even unique ones, quite well.
