[AccessD] NewSQL (was: Fun and games in web design)

MySQL is obviously not a perfect database and there is no one database for all types of applications. But I wonder why people so often forget about Postgres. It's a stunning database - much better than MySQL in all things that matter and can certain compete head to head against these NewSQL dbs.

It's strange.
