There used to be a page at the MySQL site which showed comparison between
MySQL and its competitors. For example, one page contrasted MySQL with DB2.
These pages were lengthy and compared the product feature for feature.
I just had a look but I'm having trouble finding the comparison pages. I'm
not sure if they have been removed or whether the site has been redesigned
so that you can find things more easily - which usually results in it being
_harder_ to find things, in my experience :-)
Have a look for yourself; maybe you can find those comparisons. I'm not sure
if postgis was one of the databases compared to MySQL though.

Subject: comparing postgis with mysql
hello,
I am relatively new in this field. I am designing a database to store the
events extracted from the oceans. This project later demands of publishing
data on web. I am not able to decide which database to use. Mysql with
spatial extension or the postgis one. I would prefer to use windows
platform.
Can someone suggest or can provide me with some links that compare the two
databases. Do you think Mysql has a better spatial elements handling
capacity in comparison to postgis.?
please reply soon.
Thanks and Regards
Parang Saraf
