It is not me who is refusing the debate. I do have a voice in the Oracle community and I will continue to warn people considering Postgres as a possible alternative to Oracle what are they up against, should they decide to try going down that road. There are many deficiencies of PostgreSQL and I'll gladly point them out to any Oraclite who is considering PgSQL as a possible replacement. The phrase about Postgres being an open source Oracle is a misleading lie. If you want to try debating the possible reasons for not providing hints to Postgres users, I'll gladly debate it with you. Frankly, I don't think it makes much sense, the spirit of Postgres community is far from instilling confidence. Maybe that's why PGEast was such a flop? By the way, what do you think, why is Postgres so far behind in popularity behind MySQL? I just want to be the voice of reason, even at the risk of sounding like a broken record. Lastly, this forum is not moderated and the only way I can be dealt with is the force of arguments. From what I've seen so far, there is no danger of that ever happening. I would even suggest that rude posts like Laurenz's or yours, in which you accuse a complete stranger of "sounding like a broken record" or "going berserk", are more akin to trolling than polite and rational posts of the kind I am attempting to promote here. I don't intend to get into a shouting match with either of you, but if somebody asks about conversion from Oracle, you can count on me being here. Again, the only way to make me go away is the force of arguments. -- http://mgogala.byethost5.com
