Sorry cannot help with that :-) I stopped using MySQL in 2005, when
discovered that we speak different languages (I learned standard ISO/ANSI
SQL in university, and then easily communicated with Oracle, SQL Server,
but failed to do so with MySQL; that's why I switched to Postgres).

During last years, all the focus of "let's compare Postres to ..." activity
was switched from MySQL to MongoDB and Oracle.
Maybe it's time to refresh the data -- for those who works with both
Postgres and MySQL.
