> Personally, I think MySQL died when Oracle got involved with it. The momentum was sucked right out of the project.

This statement is completely baseless, and you clearly haven't followed the MySQL developments of the last 10 years. It's ironic that around the time Sun was acquired, MyISAM was still a thing; MySQL has gone a long way since then.

Independently of a value judgement of "how good PGSQL/MySQL are" (I'm not making any implication in this sense), MySQL's development has been proceeding steadily, with no particular change (on the engineering side, at least). Oracle has actually put considerable effort both on the engineering and marketing side, of the 8.0 release (but again, I don't make any implication about the value of the products per se).
