Please stop this MySQL vs. PostgreSQL bashing. Each has their place. If users of MySQL don't care about their data, then I guess Bayer, Colgate, Ensembl Genome Browser, Genome Sciences Center (GSC), The Institute for Genomic Research, AIRBUS/EADS, Australian Department of Defence, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Ministère de la Defense (France), CraigsList, Google, iStockphoto, PriceGrabber, Ticketmaster, Yahoo!, CERN - The ATLAS Experiment at LHC, Bank of Canada, Lloyds TSB Bank, Linden Lab (Second Life), California Air Review Board, Department of Homeland Security, NASA, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), DaimlerChrysler, Epson, Chicago Sun-Times, Slashdot, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, Siemens, Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Texas Instruments, AT&T Wireless, Cable & Wireless, Cisco Systems, Nokia, Lufthansa Systems, Orbitz, 37signals, del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Feedburner, Feedster, Flickr, Freshmeat.net, Technorati, Wikipedia, and YouTube (among many others, see http://www.mysql.com/customers/ ) don't care about their data. These are companies that live and die by their data, I'm sure they care about it very much. Each has their place. MySQL has come a long way since its 3.23 days. Read the manual. Form your own opinions. A lot has changed. j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111
