It's funny timing - I had to prepare a comparison between PostgreSQL and
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.
Given the missing features in MySQL (column constraints and views, for
god's sake!) I had to
conclude that we couldn't implement most of our projects in MySQL, even if
we wanted to. I have trouble believing MySQL was suggested as a viable
alternative.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but thought you might find it of
interest.
