Wow, I am going to have to disagree. While Josh was a tiny bit PostgreSQL partisan in his talk, he was most certainly not unstable or embittered. If my report makes him seem that way, then I reported poorly, for which you (and he) have my apologies.

Your reporting is fine (excellent, in fact). The GP and I have clearly read a different article.

Your wording most certainly did not "lump together MySQL and MS Access." The only legitimate complaint concerning MySQL (InnoDB supports transactions) has been pointed out and defended (MySQL+MyISAM is the default, and therefore "the most popular database").
