For those that didn't read it:
- not much info in there
- it *is* mentioned, at least, that pgsql has transactions, while it is
announced as novelty for mysql (sort of)
- it is *not* mentioned that many of the features announced for mysql
4.1 are already in pg now.
- it is mentioned that sourceforge switched away from pg 'because it
didn't scale'.
- it is mentioned that pg will add sql99 schema support
- it is mentioned that pgsql inc is one of several companies offering
commercial support on pg
word count is mysql > pg, but the article does not try to compare the
two.
--> better than some other articles, I think.
cheers
