In keeping with some of the other recent discussions of common confusions, if you were to redo it in mixed case, with the text portion reading "PostgresQL", rather than "POSTGRESQL", that would be subtly better.

Just make it simply say "Postgres" or "POSTGRES" and everyone wins. :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200607222236 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFEwuDmvJuQZxSWSsgRAvlUAJ9r00iXbPi2TDGWsGkad9JDBhrKjACfYuNo pDu+YfHV7rVZPAv31LWEOwk= =Lw6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Unless I missed something and am wrong, right now it's PostgreSQL. If we want to change it great, but lets at least be consistent.

Correct. The project is PostgreSQL, not PostgresQL or Postgre.
It is also not likely to change at any point in the near future.
