You seem to have some greater misconception about the development of
MySQL. Please don't make such statements when you don't know the
background.
Although MySQL had some great contributions (in source code or
otherwise) from volunteers, it is mainly developed by the staff of
professionals of MySQL AB.
So the speak about university degrees is pointless (aside from that,
why do you think volunteers wouldn't have a degree...).

I give you features wise. The other two, robustness and speed wise, I
see no indication for.
