I happened to see http://freshmeat.net/ar
ticles/view/426/ and was not terribly impressed with it, but
thought that you folks might like to see it. The author says things
like:
The latter, PostgreSQL, has both the pedigree (the Palo
Alto area has produced such meaningless baubles as BSD, Sun
Microsystems...) and the features of an enterprise-class database.
Unfortunately, it came after MySQL and has essentially been eclipsed
by it.
and
At some point, the OSS folks have to admit that they do
NOT have a viable OSS database, or they have to continue with their
snot-nosed claim that they do have one... and then, basically, fail to
deliver on this claim.
I'm not happy about this. I love PostgreSQL, but it sure doesn't
look like it's ever going to be a player, despite glowing OSS press
coverage. Without the community support, it won't make it. That's a
fact, however unpleasant.
Interesting stuff, and perhaps worth letting people know that there
are other people using Postgres
