I have yet to see a convincing case for Microsoft SQl. If you need big and bad,
you go oracle. If you want simple and small, you go mysql, if you want
midrange, go Postgres.

Yeah. After all, there is a distinct shortage of US-born US citizens
who are able to grasp the heliocentric system and can successfully
recognise the shape of their mother country on a map. Better bring

Huh? If you mean the Nazi tyranny, that was a mere 12 years, and hell
yes, the US did something about it -- late, but they did. They helped
give us a goddamn democracy, after all.

perl does take a bit of getting used to, but it can be kind of handy.
