Not only you :)
But making a flyer is very difficult, because you really get sure, that
there is nothing inside, where MySQL could say, PostgreSQL is bashing
them. I often talked with the BSD guys because they have a flyer BSD
versus Linux. They told me, that was a really difficult work, to make
this flyer because of not bashing Linux or making sentences, where Linux
could say: "that's against us".
One of the main open source thoughts is, that there are several products
where the user can decide on his own, what he/she will prefer or which
system is better for his/her software.
I always tried to switch topic, when I got a MySQL vs. PostgreSQL
question at a PostgreSQL booth.
Or I told the visitor: that are two pairs of shoes, you can't compare
them. Both have adavantages and disadvantages, it's always a question,
what you want to do. The only thing, what I told them else is; that
PostgreSQL is under BSD license and MySQL under GPL.
But after that, I always canceled that discussion by switching topic.
For example you can tell the user after that, what nice feature
PostgreSQL is supporting or something else.
Best Regards,
Susanne
