 | To everyone who put in what's clearly a lot of time in building the new website, well done! I think the combination of the 8.0 release and a dramatically more professional website will do wonders for PostgreSQL.
Kudos!

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

| I *really* like the new design also, although one small detail niggles
me: the tagline says "The world's most advanced open source database". I
know it is fairly common nowadays to use the term 'database' when you
are really referring to a database management system (DBMS), but it just
drives me nuts. Historically, the PostgreSQL team has been known for
using correct terminology, in spite of trends.
Any thoughts, anyone? At least, could we compromise and say "The world's
most advanced open source database server"?

A PHB will know to the term database as database server and server as a
machine.
Although I appreciate your point. I think the current wording is
appropriate. I could see:
"The world's most advanced open source database software"?

| I see your point and raise you +1
"The world's most advanced open source database software" seems like a
great compromise.
