Thread: PostgreSQL vs Postgres
First off, Joshua, great book, it has saved me a lot of head scratching. Thanks. Secondly, since the ancestor is Ingres (and not IngreSQL) and the name is a play on *Post* Ingres... and the default user (that I've always created anyway) is Postgres... to me Postgres is the clear winner. Besides, whenever I mention 'Postgres' to anyone (accent in the first syllable), they've always known what I was talking about. Anyway, just my $0.02.

But of course I'm also just talking of 'postgres'. cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
