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.
