Man, tough crowd. Did you see how much they were talking about count(*)?
8.0 is an amazing release, I can't believe such a negative thread got so
much attention, especially since the issue is so insignificant.
Congratulations to the developers and release people, you did a great
job!
Regards,
Jeff Davis

Slashdot is good for press, not intelligent conversation. Most
of the people commenting on Slashdot about PostgreSQL don't
really have a clue about it...
I saw a lot of... there is no replication and even Pervasive
is the first commercial company to support it ;)

| Slashdot as always been religious about MySQL, and took a long time
for even PHP to become accepted.
This was actually a great response coming from a very
MySQL-is-the-only-database-for-the-universe crowd...

Actually, our "Slashdot Image" has been overwhelming positive over the last
year. This is mainly because Slashdot hates a successful (by some
definition) company, and always supports the "underdog". Check any post on
Red Hat, and you'll see how they became "the evil empire" the first quarter
they posted a profit.
Currently, this works in our favor, but if MySQL started to fall apart, it
would turn against us.
