Congrats to the Postgres guys. Even if this is for primarily licensing reasons, pgsql is a solid, powerful database that's easily more powerful than MySQL, and is slowly making gains against Oracle. It's underused, and lacking in name recognition, but hopefully this is the first step towards changing that.
Agreed. We're a Postgres shop at work, and the few times I've had to bust out MySQL for a side gig because of client requirements I lament the lack of functions and transactional DDL. It feels like a toy.
