yes, but as you all know by now ( or should know ), having the best technology does not make you a market leader.

MySQL will walk all over PostgreSQL, regardless of the superiority of the latter.

Otherwise, we would all be using RDB, wouldn't we?

Let's not forget PostgreSQL, arguably more "enterprise-ready" than MySQL, and now with clustering on Linux:

The last statements in the article are really telling:

                Yet, despite MySQL's progress in the market, "we haven't

found very much MySQL out there," says Microsoft's Rizzo.

                "That's the best news I could have," retorts Mickos, MYSql

AB. "As long as Microsoft is in denial, we're fine."

Could we add Uncle Larry to the list of those in denial??
