> But please, let's compare 2023 Postgres with 2023 MySQL, not 2023 Postgres with much older MySQL. It's only fair.
Heh Heh Heh
On a humorous note, the official MySQL page (in the early 2000's) comparing MySQL vs other databases had the same problem.
They'd list the latest and greatest MySQL version, but compare it against archaic versions of the others. Clearly on purpose, because "Marketing" probably.
Asked them (via official @postgresql.org email address) to please update that page to more a recent PostgreSQL, for fairness. And was completely ignored of course.
So it's kind of amusing to see a request for fairness in the opposite direction (which I agree with anyway) ~20 years later. ;)
