We come out looking very good.

Mostly because it degenerated in a pg-mysql comparison. It's a bit
lacking in terms of real data about SAPDB. The bit that's there seems
that pg and sap are quite similarly powerful.

True. If SapDB had a larger open-source group behind it, and the source
code was easier to understand, they could be a formitable challenger to
PostgreSQL.
