Just came across this one:

mySQL is great for embedding in applications though? Have they not
read Oracle's license?
Does it say anywhere on that site if the people surveyed know both
databases well enough to judge these questions? I can't find anything
about that, and the site also ranks gin and martial arts, so I'm not
sure sure it has much value.

Probably a very useful site to note people's 'perceptions' - as
perceptions tend to influence peoples decisions, especially when people
feel overwhelmed by technical decision making.
Also note that for features that are obviously complicated or advanced,
Postgres tends to a lot better than MySQL.
For the above reasons, I think it may be of value to the pg community to
look at it in order to consider what are marketing messages should be.

Gavin
