I disagree with the above. I believe we shouldn't say:
MySQL sucks because....
But to say:
MySQL does it this way:
PostgreSQL does it this way:
I think you could even go so far as to say:
MySQL allows the entry of invalid timestamps such as $value.
Those are just facts. There is nothing wrong with displaying the facts
about a product
in comparison to another product. That is why all those marketing guys
love those
comparison charts that get put all over websites.
