 From the infoworld article: "Among open-source products, MySQL is the
most prominent, with PostgreSQL nipping at its heels."

Nipping? Nipping!! We're an elephant dammit, we don't nip. And they're a
dolphin, so they don't have heels.

Now an elephant would trample underfoot... Except they'd be in the
water, so that wouldn't work.

We could hide their fish! But then they'd probably steal our supply of
peanuts. Hmm - this business writing is harder than it looks isn't it.

Anyway, we've nothing to fear from Ingres IMHO. Unless of course they
get a mouse mascot...
