It would seem to me that this is more correct in the commercial space. Of course I am biased butThe "PostgreSQL Enhanced Server" (How's that name? Maybe we call it Zerver and use PEZ?) idea is how to take the excellent core of PostgreSQL and productize it in much the same way distributions take the Linux kernel and may a GNU/Linux system. what you are talking about sounds a whole lot like RedHat Enterprise versus Fedora etc.... J Even if I find the concepts as such very interesting, I think the term "Application Server" is very misleading. People would get very confused and place PostgreSQL in the same category as JBoss, Jonas, Apache Geronimo, IBM Websphere, BEA Weblogic to name a few well known App-servers. IMHO, you really need some other umbrella name for this. Kind regards, Thomas Hallgren ""Carl E. McMillin"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

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] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings -- Command Prompt, Inc., home of Mammoth PostgreSQL - S/ODBC and S/JDBC Postgresql support, programming shared hosting and dedicated hosting. +1-503-667-4564 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.commandprompt.com PostgreSQL Replicator -- production quality replication for PostgreSQL |
