And in reply to the MySQL version comment/question, Ned said:
"We only used the released versions of each database."
I took that to mean they used the latest released version of each
database. One thing I couldn't deduce: which operating system where the
commercial RDBMs run on top of? NT for one of them, for sure, but the
other can probably run on either of the quoted OSs. If it was run on NT,
we might be seeing the linux vs. NT effect.
