Talk: Josh Berkus on MySQL and PostgreSQL
Fossbazaar has posted slides
and audio (MP3) from a talk by Josh Berkus comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Josh, of course, is a PostgreSQL hacker, and that shows through, but it
seems like a good talk regardless.

Just finished listening. It is a good talk. Regarding "Josh, of course, is a PostgreSQL hacker, and that shows through", I would agree. He is very, very careful and conservative with any criticisms of MySQL, and seems almost apologetic when pointing out PostGreSQL strengths.

Actually, I gave that talk six months ago while I was still working for Sun. Not that it makes a difference; I don't believe that bashing MySQL is a good way to promote PostgreSQL. For that matter, if MySQL didn't have some really good things about it as a database, would thousands of people be using it?
Heh, you can also tell that I did the talk while I had a cold.

Thanks Josh for the wonderful presentation!
