I doubt it. While PostgreSQL offers a number of technological advantages over MySQL, MySQL has a lower barrier to entry and easier to understand concepts than PostgreSQL as well as being a major part of the LAMP stack, which is still the most common entry point of web development. Rather than viewing one database solution as the dominant, what we are likely to see is the diversification of database technologies with the likes of NoSQL solutions coming to prominence in stacks.
- gbog 14y ago> MySQL has a lower barrier to entry and easier to understand concepts than PostgreSQL This affirmation need some explanation. In my view, once SQL is understood, both are similar. PostgreSQL might even be simpler, as it has no concept of "engines".
