Dear Hans, I also like you personally and do not mind that you disagree. I understand that this partnership may provide PostgreSQL with an opportunity to expand its community and that you need to ensure that people have a very negative impression of MySQL and this partnership for this to happen. As I have always said, PostgreSQL is a fine database, with a broad feature set. We have no need to spread FUD around the issues. I admit that there is some old or invalid information still in our manual. I will personally remove this junk in the coming weeks. :) See you at OSCON 2003?
