I'll clarify that I was told by people doing Jena support that Postgres would be slower than other relational DBs running under SDB. I am just reporting what I was told by the Jena support team. I have no experience with Postgres in other contexts and I never did a direct MySQL vs. Postgres in an SDB environment.

I don't use relational stores for RDF, but I do use them with my Rails projects. I find modern Postgres to be superior in most respects to MySQL, and as far as I can tell that's a fairly common view in the Ruby community. Of course, a lot of people will also say that NoSQL stores are even better, but that's another story! Ian
