I can't find your name in my email > archives or on archives.postgresql.org. I believe the OP is the same person as Jean-Michel Poure <jm(a)poure.com>. And I believe we discussed many of these same things back in August. And now he is posting them over again just to see if he gets an answer he likes better the second time. Perhaps Greg Stark summed it up best: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-08/msg01818.php ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
From: Josh Berkus on 5 Mar 2010 13:48 All, Given that Francois seems to return to this list every 3 months with the exact same set of requests, I think we need to make a habit of ignoring him the way we used to ignore Al Dev (although I'll comment that Al Dev was *much* more entertaining). Several members of our community are working with Drupal project leaders to help them make Drupal more database-independant, and version 7 is making great strides in this direction. If there's an next step, it's *our* community providing a test instance of PostgreSQL which Drupal developers can test their modules against, and a pgsql-drupal list or similar for them to work out the problems quickly and easily. Neither of the Drupal project leaders I've talked with wanted PostgreSQL to support more whacky MySQL syntax. Francois is out on his own here. And, Francois, it's not our goal to beat MySQL. Nobody can be a better MySQL than MySQL, ever. Our goal is to make the best possible SQL-Relational database. --Josh Berkus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Perhaps we should refer Francois/Jean-Michele to Al Dev's comments on MySQL. :-) http://www.yolinux.com/HOWTO/PostgreSQL-HOWTO.html#ss4.2 ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

You're doing a poor job on that latter. You asked before for the PostgreSQL project to "address" the concerns of some, but by no means all, developers of some little project by introducing massive bugs. That is never going to happen, and you need to stop asking.
