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
