Well, it wasn't clear and I was just in a generally bad mood. Usually you'd add a :) at the end, which you didn't this time. So, I wasn't sure whether you were being serious or not. I'm only bitter about people bashing things they don't know just for the sake of bashing them. It wasn't anything directly against you, it's just that the anti-any-other-database types of comments seem to perpetuate more misunderstanding of the other systems. For the record, the rest of your post was full of information, so I know that's not what you were doing. It was just the aforementioned comment, which I wasn't sure was a joke. That's why my response to you was written as a question rather than a lengthy discussion of how/why Oracle does things that way. -Jonah -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
