The parallel with the MySQL/Postgres debate is clear, and the arguments are identical.
And so what? Are we supposed to start a flame war now? Sorry, I don't have enough energy for such a discussion. Working in team during a long time is important in a free software project. I am new here, so I wron't say. Give me a few weeks to lear the code, then we can discuss about your questions. But just a few words: PostgreSQL is an SQL99 reference database. When you develop SQL code for PostgreSQL, you can silently run the code under any database. On the converse, when designing SQL for a non-standard database, you are more likely to loose time. Besides, to be more positive, I wrote part of pgAdmin 1&2 PostgreSQL client for PostgreSQL. Now pgAdmin 3 is available and is developped by a team. It did not write a single line in version 3. But try to use it. It may change your mind about PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is a real community of very pleasant people. We are not a company, but a real team. Posting against PostgreSQL will certainly attract hundreds of PostgreSQL developers. Is that you silent dream? Kind regards, Jean-Michel Pouré
