Are they really different technologies? It has always been my impression that they are the same tech, but they have a slightly different syntax in some places (DESCRIBE) and different levels of capabilities (Postgres offers more).

If you know the core concepts of one, you are probably 80% good to go with the other.

Yes, your impression is wrong.

MySQL and Postgres are completely different technologies that are both accessed by a similar interface.
