-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > Stupid question, but what does MySQL bring to the equation? Why > not just use PostgreSQL in the first place? A good question. I think one answer is the MySQL name. Many open-source advocates seem enamored of MySQL, but you can never pin them down about exactly what it is they love so much about it. Maybe we can rebrand PG as "MiSQL" or something. :) The other answer may be the license: plugging PG into the MySQL system (which is about as technically feasible trying to breed a porpoise and an elephant) keeps MySQL GPL, which is another reason many people like it. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200510101028 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFDSnrqvJuQZxSWSsgRAj7lAJ96I0TGpeOTFSkR91J8FLLIjU2ekgCgsM7C DfI6bse1MVYUVrW9uGl69hM= =ose4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
