First, you should not address both of us but only respond to Jason's
points. I in no way advocate slamming MySQL, but we should not ignore
them either. Your initial argument was that we should not be competing
against MySQL. The comparison between the two will continue to be
made by many people for a long time to come. We cannot simply decide they
are not worthy of our time and stand on the sidelines, waiting for the
PostgreSQL vs. Oracle match.
