I still not understand what all compare, ... compare full dymamic/modular
PostgreSQL with static features (types, functions ..) in MySQL?

The MySQL must be always faster - if not - MySQL developers are greenhorns -
but it isn't feasible.

May be compare availability for some specific usage -- an example web
application, multi-user assecc vs. locks ..etc., but some common tests
say nothing.
