The psychological reason seems clear enough: if they can dismiss postgres as not being worthy of their time, it saves them a lot of work in supporting another database. By this point I'd imagine that their code is sufficiently mysql-centric that trying to have real support for other databases would be a huge undertaking; ergo, there will be great resistance to the idea that they should take postgres seriously. It's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, too, because once the code is sufficiently tuned for mysql you can indeed show that any other database sucks running it ... regards, tom lane
