Not expressing an opinion but just sharing a few facts that seem somehow related:
- about 5 years ago we had only Oracle databases in our enterprise
- about 3 years ago - mostly Oracle databases and a few MySQL databases
- now the distribution Oracle/MySQL is about 50/50 - in fact, the number of MySQL databases is much higher, but the ratio Oracle/MySQL instances is 50/50 - and, a few days ago, we installed our first PostgrSQL production database :)
Now in addition to the Oracle documentation, I'm reading the official MySQL and PostgreSQL documentation ...
