Why PostgreSQL is a better enterprise database than MySQL
,----[ Quote ]
| There are many more features that make PostgreSQL
| well-suited to the enterprise. Security is huge, but
| PostgreSQLâs support and focus on data integrity, granular
| access controls, ACID compliance, and other core focuses,
| really explain why PostgreSQL is so highly favoured amongst
| many database administrators.

Sun and the Ten Ways
,----[ Quote ]
| If you see a company which "owns" an OSS
| project, you can be 95% certain that they
| are pursuing at least one of the Ten Ways,
| and most often several. One audience member
| claimed to be "ten for ten". Where
| companies are generally not screwing up,
| it's usually because they've hired a
| battle-tested community adivsor or manager
| to steer them away from the obvious
| mistakes.

| bet hinged on whether Oracle would make
| concessions to get the EUâs approval.
| Please review the arguments, pro and con,
| and help us settle the bet.
