MySQL 5.1 Improves Performance, Partitioning, Bug Fixes
kylehase writes "CIO.com has a writeup about MySQL's 5.1 release planned for next week. Among the enhancements are many bug fixes from 5.0, some of which may increase performance 20% or more, as well as 'partitioning, events scheduling, row-based replication and disk-based clustering.'"
AKA: Here comes the suck!
I would simply like to point out that this MySQL update is completely irrelevant because PostgreSQL has had (g_adams27, fill this part in before submitting) for a very long time, and MySQL is simply playing catchup.
...
And now I would like to strongly disagree with g_adams27, who obviously doesn't realize that MySQL is an excellent choice even compared with PostgreSQL, and I wish he'd stop making silly comparisons.
...
In response to that, I say: g_adams27, SHUT UP! You obviously don't recognize the fatal flaws that MySQL still has, in that it still can't (fill this part out later) even after years of development. PostgreSQL is obviously the superior option, and you can take your stupid MySQL advocacy somewhere else.
...
Oh, yeah? Well maybe YOU should shut up! I can't say I'm shocked at g_adams27' mean-spirited response, because that's typical of PostgreSQL jerks. MySQL is AWESOME, and YOU need to shut up, jerk!
...
Well, g_adams27, maybe you should take your TOY MySQL and go play with your dollies, while us REAL sysadmins use a REAL RDBMS to do REAL work! Idiot.
...
And now, allow me, g_adams27, to step in to the middle of this debate and simply point out that you're BOTH right, and that MySQL and PostgreSQL are perfectly good choices.
Just doing my part to shorten this thread.

By golly. Over a hour after this story popped up and there were only 37 comments posted. You perform magic with your words of wisdom, g_adams27!
