> MySQL also bundles most external dependencies (excluding for example boost) This is a great callout. Most people running PG for serious production probably need pgbouncer which looks like it adds 35-50K lines. There's probably a few more 50K-ish plugins that are must haves for serious usage. I don't know how many lines NDB is, but the lack of a standard failover mechanism and cluster manager in Postgres is a pain. The number of effective lines that the bespoke systems people build for that purpose is probably quite large.
