I did two rounds of very long presentations comparing those two systems.

Personal reasons:

  • SQL standard support is still very weak
  • lack of WAL
  • array support
  • weird replication support
  • utf8mb4 mess took too long to resolve
  • many things started to get better only after Oracle takeover

lack of WAL

Isn't that what the binlog is?

array support

This annoys me too. It's not quite the same, but native JSON support landed in MySQL 5.7.8. It's stored in a binary format.

weird replication support

How does PostgreSQL do it?

No, it's not proprietary, it just sucks.
