Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 30th May 2003 02:18 UTC
Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y Thursday here, a slow evening. Time for a new poll. This poll might require you to think a bit extra: it asks you to vote not for your favorite application, but which OSS application, in your opinion, has achieved high standards, performance, features and ease of use when compared to the best of breed of the closed source world. Read more for more explanation and voting.

RE: postgres and mysql
by Eugenia on Fri 30th May 2003 02:37 UTC

I KNOW. But if I put there PostgreSQL and not MySQL I am going to have an uproar that I supposedly "deliberately didn't include mysql which is so much better" and all that crap. Therefore, I put BOTH the SQLs on the same option (I won't sacrifice two options just for databases) to have everyone happy, with an "OR".

I am trying to cut down the trolling over here but despite my efforts, you come over here and you talk to me like "Eugenia what are you smocking?", without understanding MY position and what happens when you have to take such choises just because your audience is so diverse. A "sorry" wouldn't hurt.
