MySQL recently, explaining why we would prefer PostgreSQL. I know some
people here have issues with the MySQL crashme test results, but I have to
say I found it possibly one of the best postgreSQL advertisements
available. A 4-way comparison between Sybase, Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL
shows PostgreSQL in an extremely flattering light.
They have been improving their fairness over at MySQL. I know Zak Greant (added as CC) removed all the inaccurate PostgreSQL stuff that was in the MySQL manuals.
Hi Bruce and all,
Thanks for the Cc: and for noticing the fixes!
To be fair, Paul DuBois and Andrey Stroganov did the actual work - I only did some pointing and grunting. I am not sure that we have removed everything yet - I still need to do a full sweep of the docs. In any case, this is a good start
Also, I noticed the long GPL/MySQL related thread on [GENERAL]. It looked like there are some good points in the discussion. Once I get some other licensing-related issues taken care up, I will take a look at cleaning up the licensing overview docs that were mentioned and critiqued.
Cheers! --zak
