The use of mirror sites makes it easier for users to download the software. >First round for MySQL. > >If you try to find ³Documentation² on MySQL's site there is a link to >³Documentation². On PostgreSQL there is not but a text explaining that the >documentation had been splited up. That text is also a link to the documentation. I agree that a link to the docs should be immediately obvious on the web site of a product like this, but it's not accurate to imply that there is no link to the docs. >The question here is if we want OpenSource projects being wide used or >remain on an specialists realm. SQL database servers are for use by specialists. Anyone who needs to use a relational database needs knowledge that is not common among desktop computer users. If you can design relational databases and use SQL, then you should have no problem getting started with PostgreSQL. If you do not already have those skills, then you should either stick with something like Filemaker or Access or get used to the idea that you have a lot to learn. Tony -- Anthony E.
