> ~1998, there were quite a few megabytes burnt on discussing Postgres vs. MySql. At the time, MySQL was not ACID compliant, and was (rightly) derided as a database shaped object, but not an actual database. It was faster, provided you didn't need get back the same data you put into it.

MySQL has come a long way since then though.
