Hey guys!

The MySQL and PostgreSQL results are uncompareable!

The PostgreSQL was run on an 8 core HW while the MySQL was run on 4 core system. They were totally different. And the MySQL response times are far better.

I surely miss that. However MySQL community is really helpful for general MySQL use - it is rarely users run into the bugs most time they just need help figuring out how to do something. Scott,

On the other hand, I think MySQL is a great piece of software, still under development, that has a way better community support and paid support from the developer than the pgsql has. This is particularly important for newbies or switching users. Besides, performance results do not always show the pgsql as a better option.
