MySQL Server is coded from the start to be multi-threaded while PostgreSQL uses
processes. Context switching and access to common storage areas is much
faster between threads than between separate processes, this gives MySQL Server
a big speed advantage in multi-user applications and also makes it easier
for MySQL Server to take full advantage of symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) systems.

MySQL Server has a much more sophisticated privilege system than PostgreSQL.
While PostgreSQL only supports @code{INSERT}, @code{SELECT}, and

you to define a full set of different privileges on database, table and
column level. MySQL Server also allows you to specify the privilege on host and
