MySQL comparison ...

Too many questions about adding MySQL comparison to 
Postgres web page received.

Really MySQL is closest product to Postgres 
from marketing point of view

IMHO, It's need to add bold red comment about MySQL, at least:
MySQL is not RDBMS, because it miss functionality supported by all other
databases included in comparison. 

This is the quote from MySQL on-line documentation:
 5.3 Functionality missing from MySQL               5.3.1 Sub-selects               5.3.2 SELECT INTO TABLE
 5.3.3 Transactions               5.3.4 Stored procedures and triggers               5.3.5 Foreign Keys
  5.3.5.1 Reasons NOT to use foreign keys               5.3.6 Views               5.3.7 `--' as the start of a comment
       
 

This is my variant of comparison, (based on the MySQL documentation)
