Recently I was thinking about whether I had enough material to warrant a 2008 update to "Why PostgreSQL instead of MySQL"; who would have guessed that Monty would do most of the research I was considering for me?

I quit using MySQL years ago when the default table type did not have transactions and subqueries were not existent.  The features I was looking for were already in PostgreSQL for several versions.

I am surprised to see such an honest post regarding MySQL.

"Sun Picks Up MySQL For $1 Billion" to bad for them they did not go with PostgreSQL.  :)
