New "Including 'THE' other..." ?!? :-(
If you're beginning to think it's ridiculous that so many people think of MySql as "THE" free database... then imagine how much "better" it is to imply that there is just ONE *other* free database.

(The most ironic thing about this is that PostGres, too, is just an upstart compared to [link|http://firebird.sourceforge.net/|Firebird]/[link|http://www.borland.com/interbase/|Interbase]; the latter began life at about the same time as, or even before, Oracle.)

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

However, when the un-knowledgeable look for a "free" database, their first two choices are usually MySQL then PostGreSQL. As I've just unwittingly demonstrated. :-)

Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
