Random disconnects, core dumps and memory leaks were common with these series. However, the PostgreSQL 7.x series showed significant improvement in terms of stability." This is simply hilarious.

It looks as if a non-English speaker who knows next to nothing about either system grabbed an old article from the web (I won't give it more link juice by naming it here), ran it through their own biases.

In this case, the top line of the piece really gives it away: "Simple solutions for complex problems." H.L. Mencken once wrote, "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." My bet's on Mencken here.

The article is truly a "set of shits". It's just one shit after another. From now on I'm definitely going to use that phrase for anything with deeply absent quality. Thanks Pavel =) BJ

And you succeeded beyond your wildest dreams at communicating its staggering awfulness. Improving the English wouldn't improve that! :-). -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="ca.afilias.info" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; Christopher Browne "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump, Piglet, meet me in transporter room three"
I'm glad I got to read this article after it was updated to refer to postgresql 8.4 otherwise I would have missed the best info I have read for some time - <quote> PostgreSQL: It has been equipped with advanced set of features, such as stored procedures and subqueries. These have been implemented to offer a more stability. </quote> DOOHH!! That's why my apps keep crashing - I don't use enough subqueries!!!! ;-P -- Shane Ambler pgSQL (at) Sheeky (dot) Biz
