   I have not configured any SQL database, so my knowledge is based on what
I have read and what others have said. I was under the impression that
Postgres was better than Mysql, and now about comparable with the high-end
commercial databases, perhaps better in some respects but not as good in
others. What is the real position? Are the main differences due to features,
pure grunt, or difficulties in use such as upgrading? Are the Open Source
databases continually playing catch-up with new features?
