[Novalug] PostgreSQL vs. MySQL -- Whitepaper on - From TheServerSide.com

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

Dang! I hate those places where you have to sign up. What TUX needs is 
for someone to subscribe to all thos things with generice 
account/password (tux/tux) username and passwords so we can all use that 
when reading articles based on those links.

But what I would like to know is how either one stacks up with Oracle.

Oracle is such a Horrible Experience that I don't even know why anyone 
would use it. Even the Linux version is Horrible.
