I don't have an informed option, not really knowing what
else is out there.  My guess is that if you have something
working it's not really worth the time spent to switch.

I like sqlgrey because it works with Postgres.  Not only
do I think Postgres technically superior to MySQL but
MySQL, in my opinion, is not truly Open Source.  The
MySQL documentation (and as far as I can tell the
MariaDB documentation) is _not_ open source.  A database
is no good without documentation, which makes forking
a db product with no documentation a huge problem.

It took MariaDB _years_ to get decent documentation.
(And near as I can tell they still don't have
a document for each release, making it hard to tell
just how the version you happen to be running
actually works.)

If it can't be forked it's not open source.
