Look what somebody suggested!

-----------------------------------------------

If the worst happens and Oracle tries to squash
InnoDB, there may already be such an alternative out
there.

I wonder what it would take to add (and optimize)
Postgres storage engine support to MySQL? I don't know
exactly how current versions of MySQL and Postgres
maesure up performance-wise, but PgSQL seems to have
made steady progress on performance improvements.

Maybe this is a crazy idea, I don't know how
technically or legally feasible it is, but I really
like the idea of the two open-source communities
uniting to battle Oracle.
