It's either "Postgres" or "PostgreSQL". http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/ProjectName See also: http://www.postgresql.org/about/history/ "PostgreSQL, originally called Postgres, ... "With the start of its new life in the open source world, with many new features and enhancements, the database system took its current name: PostgreSQL. ("Postgres" is still used as an easy-to-pronounce nick-name.)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL "PostgreSQL, often simply Postgres, ..." http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/history.html "Many people continue to refer to PostgreSQL as "Postgres" (now rarely in all capital letters) because of tradition or because it is easier to pronounce. This usage is widely accepted as a nickname or alias." > see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sql.html > http://mindprod.com/jgloss/postgresql.html From that MindProd site: "It is also known as Postgres, but never Postgre." -- Lew
