postgresql and mysql are both SQL dialects, arguably postgresql follows
the SQL standards closer, but both have extensive unique customizations
and extensions. Both systems implement a transactional database
server, but the implementations are completely different, as are the
disk storage structures.

what do you want to achieve by 'hacking into the postgresql source code'
? and if you're 'hacking postgresql' what do you mean by 'want to use
the mysql database' ?
