A Chat with PostgreSQL (OSDir)
OSDir talks with
PostgreSQL developers. "When most people think of open source
database products what comes to mind more often than not is MySQL. But that
is changing in the enterprise market, and among demanding developers. The
PostgreSQL project has been steadily clawing its way up the ladder in
mindwidth since its inception almost ten years ago. Many say they've
changed from MySQL to PostgreSQL and never looked back. I recently had a
chance to chat with a few of the project's dedicated developers."

A Chat with PostgreSQL (OSDir) Posted Apr 16, 2005 8:04 UTC (Sat) by davidw (subscriber, #947) [Link] Good to see these guys getting some well-deserved publicity. PostgreSQL is a fine product that I've been using since 1998, without looking back. It hasn't received the attention it merits, though.

Compatibility with future releases of all FOSS will be harder to come by. MySQL has done what Apache did, there is no room at the top for the also-ran.
A Chat with PostgreSQL (OSDir) Posted Apr 19, 2005 6:22 UTC (Tue) by davidw (subscriber, #947) [Link] I think your economics are off. Databases are a little less one-size fits all than web servers, especially considering that there are a number of things that Postgres does that Mysql doesn't. In environments (languages, distributions) like that, we see that there is indeed space for more than one.
