It’s always nice to know people are reading my blog and blogging about it themselves, even if they are disagreeing with what I’ve written. This is an excerpt from Jay Pipes’ blog, he is the Community Relations Manager, North America for MySQL.

Highly intriguing, especially given all the traction that MySQL has been getting in this very same market (like its recent win with Bookings.com. Granted, Lumen's post suggests PostreSQL is a better choice for small- to medium-sized businesses utilizing open source SaaS software (and MySQL is perhaps more focused on the Googles of the world?).”
