Quick update on these...I've been informed of two issues I'm told are incorrect in there:

-I suggest ALTER TABLE need a more aggressive lock on MySQL than Postgres, which isn't true.

-The MySQL InnoDB implementation is mathematically serializable, where as the Postgres one isn't, so in that particular case they actually implement more strict transaction semantics.

I'll be fixing the text when I get time to address these fully, just didn't want anyone else to propagate these mistakes before I get to it.
