    (MySQL|MSSQL|Oracle|DB2) is (cheaper|better|faster|ACID-compliant|'1337) and Postgres is (slower|buggier|missing features|has broken features|sucky)!!!

    Doesn't even know about dBase III. That thing stopped development not 10 years ago, but 20 years ago. Maybe the guy was working so hard on dBase III that for the last 10 years of the project he didn't notice for a decade that all his fellow programmers weren't coming to work, his paychecks weren't arriving, Ashton-Tate was no longer in business, and a new company had moved into the office space that he was working in.

    Yeah, your correct but unfortunately most saw that as a hack and you had to have half a clue to get it working. ie, its alot harder than double clicking on setup. :)

    My experience has been that saying MySQL can't handle load is like saying it gets hot in Texas in the summer. :)

    If you're going to use it expensively, then why not just go with Oracle?
