Kind of annoying that under "Related:" there aren't any PostgreSQL links though.

I think someone (Ned Lilly?) talked to him about it and he is going to start mentioning PostgreSQL more. > Kind of annoying that under "Related:" there aren't any PostgreSQL links though. > > Mike Mascari > mascarm@mascari.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Momjian [SMTP:pgman@candle.pha.pa.us] > Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 12:36 PM > To: PostgreSQL-documentation > Cc: PostgreSQL-general > Subject: [GENERAL] SQL article > > This was an interesting introduction to SQL: > > http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/10/20/aboutSQL_1.html > > -- > Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us > pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 > + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue > + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate > subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your > message can get through to the mailing list cleanly > > -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
If you read through to the bottom of the second page of the article and follow the "continue" link, you'll find that he does mention PostgreSQL and compares (rather favorably, IMHO) it to Access, MySQL, and Oracle. He even indicates that he is going to be focusing on PostgreSQL in a future article.

Unfortunately if you go to the full article list there are a bunch of articles that focus on MySQL and none on PostgreSQL (at least according to the subjects anyway).

Correct. Check the date on the article Bruce mentioned. The author told me he had written a bunch of them and had them in the can for O'Reilly. His article on functions (don't have the URL handy) really set me off, since I think we shine there compared to the other guys. But he's very interested in learning more about PostgreSQL, and I think we'll see more from him before too long.
