I'm trying to port my application from mysql to postgres (for the GIS supoort). I had hoped there would be wild enthsuiasm for such a project, as the Arduino community is extremely large, and this would push postgres into a wider audience. I expected it would take multiple people with varying backgrounds to accomplish the task. If you can do it on your own, great. I'll be happy to lend what knowledge I have of the Arduino and using the mysql connector - http://www.green-trust.org/lmanco/find.php Steve Spence, KK4HFJ Director, Green Trust http://www.green-trust.org Http://arduinotronics.blogspot.com On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 6:21 PM, Tomas Vondra <tv@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 17.4.2014 19:43, Steve Spence wrote: >> Oracle thought it was a good idea to put out a MySQL version, I >> figure there should be some effort to counter that here ..... > > Really?
