Man, everybody just has to chime in with their $0.02. Let the moderators handle it, oh flaming sword o' justice. > The odd comparison is OK but the flame wars are a waste of storage. Which, while an amusing read, also point out actual flaws in Postgres that we could stand fixing. People do bitch without a reason, but the do it more often when they have something to bitch about. Me, I was just being devil's advocate. Looks like not everyone caught that. Oh well. > PS If you don't understand any of these words use a dictionary to find > out what they mean. Don't just presume they are insults. Now, now. You had me going for a while, but you have just instantly turned what may have been a mildly informative post into a pathetic flame. I mean, really. What was that about troglodytical mentalities? For the most part, I agree with you. For everyone else who doesn't get it. Upgrade. Upgrade now, upgrade quickly, and upgrade until you can't upgrade anymore. Postgres 7.1 is not the postgres of yesteryear. Postgres has evolved past the horrid thing MySQL compared itself to. The best part is that 7.2 will be even better. The point here is to know postgres's flaws. Ignore the flames, and upgrade. The more people using the newer versions, the better the next one will be.
