I have been harping for the last few days (years, actually) about tweaks and changes to PostgreSQL for a number of reasons ranging from session management to static tables. I even had a notion to come up with msession on PostgreSQL. I have been incorporating full text search, recommendations, and a slew of other features into PostgreSQL, but you know what? While it does touch Postgre in a real sense, it is not strictly SQL. It is about how to create applications with PostgreSQL. That's what we're missing, Coneptually, PostgreSQL is strictly a database and the core team (rightly so) is fundimentally happy with that aspect of it. Maybe we need a pgfoundary project called "PostgreSQL Application Server." Like Apache Tomcat or regular apache or PHP, PostgreSQL could form the SQL base of a far more intricate and flexable framework that encompases a lot of the various features that could provide "application sever" features from PostgreSQL. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
