I can confirm Hans' impressions --- I get very few questions about MySQL
vs. PostgreSQL, at least in the past few years. People still using
MySQL at this point know they are using something inferior to
PostgreSQL, and if they didn't, the new MySQL licensing has made it
abundantly clear. MySQL just isn't in the same league, and probably
will never be. What people want is Informix/Oracle/MS-SQL => PostgreSQL.
