If someone more versed in both wants to give this talk, by all means,
I'd be interested as well. Failing that though, I'd be happy to do the
research and put a talk together in the early new year (have a TPM one I
need to focus on due in October).
I was thinking of asking MySQL folks what they liked over PostgreSQL and
vice versa. Then try to put together the info... Maybe even develop some
(simple) benchmarks to try.
I've been a long-time fan of PostgreSQL, but I think the challenge of
being neutral would be good for me. :)
