As mentioned previously, the OSPN 2013 Tokyo/Spring open source conference was held on February 22/23, and I was able to attend a few sessions on both days. While there was a wide range of sessions covering everything from open source licensing to a project to make available every obscure Chinese character variant (all 60,000 of them), I was interested primarily in the database-related sessions. The open-source database ecosystem was represented by PostgreSQL and the MySQL'n'derivatives family.
