While searching for some info and using google.com I came across

<http://www.epinions.com/ensw-review-7F55-42531AD1-3A43D81B-prod3>

I am the first to understand that the opinion in such a site is
worthless and the guy seems not to understand anything about DBMSs but
it's quite harsh anyway.

Considering the review was done in December he was more than likely
using an early beta, but even tho he was asked he didn't say.  Some
of his comments - speed mainly - looked like he had his mysql and
postgresql numbers reversed based on EVERY benchmark I've seen.  You
are 100% correct tho, his opinion is worthless and is based on an
apparent lack of facts.  He gives no data to back up any of his claims
and according to the info on the left side, people actually listen to
him and trust his opinions.  Go figure!
