PostgreSQL or MySQL: Which is faster?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's easy to find benchmarks that favor one database over another,
| depending on the hardware, the configuration and the test. One database
| might do better on a single-core machine with little memory, while
| another can take better advantage of scaling to multiple core processors.
| One might lead on reads while another leads on writes.
| 
|     * This MySQL vs. Postgres demonstrates MySQL is faster.
|     * Benchw results shows PostgreSQL as being faster.
|     * The Windows Skills blog shows MySQL is faster.

| Why are you paying so much in licensing costs and annual maintenance when

| Stones pose to smaller companies regarding their less critical
| applications.

EnterpriseDB goes large on simplicity

,----[ Quote ]
| According to chief executive Andy Astor, revenue has quadrupled in a year. 
| But when it comes to developer uptake, PostgreSQL the open source database 
| that EnterpriseDB is based upon, lags MySQL, its open source rival. 
| EnterpriseDB has made much of its Oracle compatibility to persuade 
| organizations to switch database suppliers and also of the claimed superior 
| scalability to MySQL.
