After Postgres got replication out of the box I'm pretty sure it's just inertia and the fact that it's installed everywhere keeping mysql usage up. Postgres is so much nicer when dealing with day-to-day things.

Eg disabling connections per database using sql and having built-in query stats (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/pgstatstatements.h...) just made me smile.

The built in query stats is similar to Performance Schema in MySQL. The statistics are quite fine grained, and with a set of views on top (https://github.com/MarkLeith/mysql-sys) are very useful for observability.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that, quit mysql habits pre 5.6 :)

Technically, it was introduced in 5.5, but off by default :)

5.7 is going to be amazing for observability. Memory, transactions, stored procedures, replication, meta data locking and prepared statements are all instrumented in P_S.
