[chef] RE: Why PostgreSQL for Chef11?

[Matt Ray < >]

My understanding is that we found performance roughly equal before any tuning 
and initially the plan was to maintain compatibility with both Postgres and 
MySQL. We were planning on shipping Private Chef with MySQL, but licensing 
made Postgres a much more attractive option. Rather than continue the effort 
to support two databases going forward, the decision was made to focus on 
optimizing for performance on Postgres.

Subject: [chef] Why PostgreSQL for Chef11?

Hello members,

Do you have any idea why Chef 11 choose  PostgreSQL as db solution? Why MySQL 
was out?
I dont' have any prejudice on any db. Just curious on why X but not Y.
