Stupid question, but what does MySQL bring to the equation?
MySQL brings to the table an impressive AI interface that knows what you
really meant to do and thus does away with those pesky error messages.
After all, who wants to be told that 0000-00-00 is not a date, or that
you tried to insert a value of 70000 into a SMALLINT column?
Why not
just use PostgreSQL in the first place?

If the worst happens and Oracle tries to squash
InnoDB, there may already be such an alternative out
there.
I wonder what it would take to add (and optimize)
Postgres storage engine support to MySQL? I don't know
exactly how current versions of MySQL and Postgres
maesure up performance-wise, but PgSQL seems to have
made steady progress on performance improvements.
Maybe this is a crazy idea, I don't know how
technically or legally feasible it is, but I really
like the idea of the two open-source communities
uniting to battle Oracle.
