Thread: Another episode of the regular MySql-PostgreSQL war on Slashdot

As usual, a rather harmless article on Slashdot about MySql ("Major
Changes To MySQL Coming Soon") turned into a flaming discussion about
the different virtues of MySql and PostgreSQL.

What strikes me is that this time the chief developer of MySql, Michael
'Monty' Widenius, had time available to reply talking about how good
MySql is (including his famous benchmarks), which at least shows some
impolite manners and probably that he's feeling the pressure...

I didn't see anything particularly impolite in that particular message
actually, and the discussion was mostly pointless anyway...
