Another cheap marketing gimmick
Comparing open source to commercial-grade software is idiotic without providing any real (and current) metrics.

How can Coverity make the claim that MySQL has fewer bugs than a commercial database because they simply do not have the data to support this?! What databases? As far as I can see only Oracle is a potential customer. What other commercial databases is the experience coming from?
