I've been involved in that comparison at work, and after some boring
theoretical discussions, i once turned to my CTO and said:
"Do a test. On the same machine, do a script that executes 50.000
inserts, OR any other 50.000 SQL operations you want, and benchmark the
results".
He did, and Postgres immediately got another die-hard fan.
The facts spoke more clearly than i could ever do, with just words.
Nowadays, he is even more "defensive" of PGSQL over MySQL than i am.
