I'm soundly in the school of thought that says SQL based relational databases should work like Oracle 7.3.4. The main reason I think I like Postfix is it is more like Oracle 7.3.4 than Oracle 8+. When Oracle went feature and bloat mad, and made what was a small, elegant, and effective tool into something huge. I agree there are somethings that MySQL does better, but I'm really not interested in having to specify with a table how it is stored (or getting it wrong). Whilst I know what you mean about the Postgres configuration files, I find the syntax for specifying users in MySQL is hideous. End up with issues of escaping code for fairly normal kinds of stuff. I suspect a lot comes down to which you used first, and so what you expect. But I think a lot of issues were sorted in Postgres between 7 and 7.4, just as they were in MySQL between 4 and 5 in MySQL. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
