+== MySQL differences ==
+
+The major differences between MySQL and Postgres are represented as
+methods in the Database class. For example, implicitGroupby() is
+true for MySQL and false for Postgres. This means that in those
+places where the code does not add all the non-aggregate items
+from the SELECT clause to the GROUP BY, we can add them in, but in
+a conditional manner with the above method, as simply adding them
+all in to the main query may cause performance problems with
+MySQL.
