I like this analogy, though maybe you've overstretched. Perhaps:
MySQL = Estes. Put in InnoDB, and you have a D engine ... but it's
still a model rocket.
Postgres = Titan II. Can boost LEO missions or small interplanetary
probes. Never mind its ICBM heritage ;-)
Oracle = Saturn IV. Can take you to the moon ... if you can afford
the price tag.
