This morning on slashdot:

"6 years ago Mr Poet submitted the story Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Since then both databases have evolved to wherever they are today. Are the
points raised 6 years ago still valid? What has changed? Are there other
things to consider since then (e.g. licensing)?" This is certainly a valid
question since both databases have had to evolve with the times. Have
these applications been specialized to fit a particular niche market or
are they both still strong competitors? What does the horizon look like
for the development of these programs, especially considering the recent
MySQL partnership with SCO?
