Re: Where is Postgesql ? - MYSQL SURPRISES WITH MAXDB /

As far as I'm aware, MAXDB is completely different from MySQL, although
it's sold by the same company.  It's basically SAP's DB, which is really
just a fork off of Adabas D, which has been a mainframe database for a
long time.

So, it really has nothing to do with MySQL, just the MySQL company.

I looked into SAPDB once a long time ago.  It has several good features,
including:

 * Oracle 7 compatibility mode
 * Several data warehousing enhancements
 * My favorite - TABLESPACES!!

It was near impossible to install, but seemed to work a lot like Oracle.
Just my impression.

Again, this has nothing to do with the MySQL product.  Also, MySQL has a
lot pbigger budget for PR than PG.
