I did not intend to disparage anyone. People, including myself, make
money when they provide value and there is certainly value here.
But, I am not sure I understand your inference. Are you saying (and I
am not implying you are) that PostgreSQL does not progress in line with
the original SQL goals of simplifying data access because people are
making money off of the current complexity?
I'm going to say Merlin was being one part sarcastic, one part saying
people may not want to bite the hand that feeds them.
As to SQL, if Postgres wants to maintain it's goal of hewing to the SQL
standard then what progress it came make is determined by the SQL
standards committee.
