Re: SAPDB Open Souce

I have attached the original message and my reply.  The person was
asking how we could used SAP "to see what postgres can learn".  My reply
was to say that I couldn't figure how how to learn anything from the
code.  That was my only statement.

I did not trash SAP DB.  Seems using their development tools may make
the code much easier to understand.  Hopefully someone will try.
