Обсуждение: MySQL to PostgreSQL movement
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/breakingnews.jhtml?articleId=60401366 Excerpt: In an interview at LinuxWorld in Boston, Mickos acknowledged some MySQL-to-PostgreSQL movement, but shrugged it off. "They[PostgreSQL] absolutely try to be an Oracle replacement. We do not. We're here for new markets," Mickos told CRN. This very much squares with what we're hearing at the booth at LinuxWorld.

I would like to put this article up on our web site "News" page with the title "MySQL Cedes Oracle-Style Market to PostgreSQL". Is that OK? The article certainly has good coverage for PostgreSQL, even though the title mentions only MySQL. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
Yeah I agree. The article is impressive from two stand points: 1. That there is indeed an acknowledgement of a significant amount of movement between postgres and mysql. 2. Honest commentary is coming out of mysql. We need to keep on supporting this kind of thing (except of course that business that we're 'only' after Oracle people).

I had emailed her (the author of the article) to explain the license differnece between MySQL and PostgreSQL and before I knew it she posted what I wrote.
