Really?

To me postgres and MySQL have been in a similar spot for 10 years at least. MySQL with a few more users but not massive.

Not by my recollection, and most ways of looking at trends seem to suggest the same: (unfortunately many don't go back that far, but let you see some trends)

I guess I forget that 70% of the web is PHP and 95% of PHP is MySQL, so I tend to not get a fair picture of life.

It appears that MySQL has held the 10x postgre spot for a long time, at least in search trends..
