Well, not all databases are alike. Some have more features than others.

I _do_ recognize that there may be valid reasons for choosing MySQL over PostgreSQL or other mature RDBMSes. (I just don't know any, personally.) > Thanks for your input, nonetheless. It seems you chose to deliberately ignore my advice on using views (which MySQL 5+ supports), or custom queries, for bridging the gap between efficient storage, appropriate sorting order, and output format suitable for PDNS. Your choice.
