I think he was apologizing to himself. After that much self inflicted pain, the inner psyche has to start to revolt. :P Joshua D.

Heck, I'm even considering running MySQL through it's MyISAM backend as a slave to my PG master.

I used to use MySQL for everything and now use PostgreSQL for the majority of my DB needs. I certainly advocate PG now to anyone who will listen, but I don't think it helps to portray MySQL as a POS or regret its existence. It's a very useful tool if used correctly. IMO, people who are able to effectively use PG/MySQL/Oracle/XYZ appropriately are more valuable than those that blindly use the same one for every single task. Sorry - I just noticed this in a couple recent posts and I felt like voicing my $0.02. Josh ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
