"Today was my last day at Oracle, and thus also in the MySQL team. [...] MySQL is a pretty poor database, and you should strongly consider using Postgres instead."

@fribbledom I discovered PostgreSQL in 2001.
After that, all through the 00s and the early 10s it continued to puzzle me that MySQL had so much mindshare on the opensource/free software movement(s) and PostgreSQL had so little...?
But maybe things have started to turn...?
@steinarb @fribbledom I use pgsql whenever I have a choice between two, but I have to admit pgsql has much steeper learning curve. Even mysql/innodb is easier to start with (but harder to get it right). On the other hand if you ever worked with oracle - pgsql is an obvious choice (very easy schema transition).
