Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the backend-makes-the-frontend-go dept.

Mr. Jax writes "6 years ago Mr Poet submitted the story Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL. Since then both databases have evolved to wherever they are today. Are the points raised 6 years ago still valid? What has changed? Are there other things to consider since then (e.g. licensing)?" This is certainly a valid question since both databases have had to evolve with the times. Have these applications been specialized to fit a particular niche market or are they both still strong competitors? What does the horizon look like for the development of these programs, especially considering the recent MySQL partnership with SCO?

    I only did a very quick search but truncation of data fields doesn't appear to be in the Bugs database. Have you submitted it, please give the #.

    If you have submitted, I apologise, otherwise cut some slack and help the cause.
