MySQL does not add new features because it was bought by Oracle. But they improve performance. It is an easy to use minimal database. InnoDB engine is ACID compliant but MySQL's original engine, MyISAM is not ACID compliant. Why not ACID compliant? To improve performance. On the other hand PostgreSQL is ACID compliant from the beginning. And PostgreSQL adds new features every few months. Some of these features that do not exist in MySQL are; IP address data type, serial fields (multiple auto-increments), row level permissions, geographical data types, inheritance, XML data type, custom data types, range data type and things that I don't know but I know that it provides many features of SQL language like intersect, except and merge joins. It is like free Oracle. ACID: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID
