In other news, PostgreSQL announced that it has all the features that MySQL 4.0 has, has had them for a long time, is GPL'd, and is very stable (as in not alpha). Get it here
OK, maybe that wasn't announced, but it should have been.

[MySQL / PostgreSQL / Interbase] is [better / worse] than [MySQL / PostgreSQL / Interbase] because it [has / doesn't have] [row-level locking / transactions / foreign keys / large [development/user] base]
In all honesty, why can't people just realize that competition is a good thing? Instead of having one database that tries to be all things for all people, the Open Source Community has several database applications available; choose whatever best suits your needs!
