Really?!? MySQL development started in '94; and their first internal release was May 95.[1] At that time Postgres's SQL language support was new, but didn't the underlying database already have a half decade of history that surely was more mature than MySQL at the time? I thought the main justification for MySQL back then is that they had better Win95 support (and a quality control philosophy that more matched the old pre-NT windows that favored time-to-market over correctness).
