Could you give some specific citations how Java has "performance issues" with
MySQL, and why it would differ from Java's performance with Postgres or Oracle?
The only thing that could affect performance between Java and a database would
be the JDBC driver. (Application code issues we will take as equivalently
dangerous be it Java or PHP.) MySQL provides their own JDBC driver.
