A huge difference!! Number one is that you have the entire community helping to develop the project, so bug fixes and features are done in record time instead of waiting on a "few" developers to bring you the things that you need the most. Why has mySql done so well? Gee I will answer that myself. MySql offers an open source product and were able to grow their client base while at the same time having the people that downloaded their software also develop their software and reduce their costs. Free and closed source simply means that we have to wait for you to implemnt things and that it takes longer for community acceptance.
