Hello,

I strongly believe that is wrong to ask somebody
whether the name should be changed. The answer
will always be biased because people tend to
stick with what they are used to.

We all agreed that there will be a considerable
amount of work to be done for a name change, but
that is a different question. If you really want
to know which name is better, then you have to
make people to take a neutral perspective.

You might ask something like this: The idea
of changing PostgreSQLs name is popping up
every now and then. Do you believe that there
would be a similar discussion if the name
of the project were Postgres?

To come back to the results of your question,
the idea of using DB instead of SQL as a sign
is interesting though I doubt that anybody
would start the renaming project if the new
name were decided to be PostgresDB.

Bye, Christian
