Even if you aren't using Linux, take a minute and make your vote...we like
to see PostgreSQL on top, no? :)

Re: your mail

You people are harsh *and* devious.

(Yes, I've now voted. Solaris is kind of like Linux. At least I use a
lot of GNUware.) It's now 28 to 35 out of 93 votes.

There are now 119 votes, and PostgreSQL is in first place!

Re: your mail

hi

i'm not a Linux user, but an OpenBSD user. recently Louis
Bertrand posted some requests for assistance in getting ODBC support to
work on the postgres port to openbsd. i didn't see many responses to his
requests, though I saw lots of discussions re: Linux problems.

I'd like to use PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem like there is
much interest from this community in assisting an OpenBSD developer.
I'll change databases before I change OS's.

Sorry if this sounds like sour grapes, just call 'em like I see them

I'm not much into ODBC myself, so can't help much, but could you have
Louis repost his problem. The problem is that the 'Linux community' makes
up a very very large chunk (sadly *grin*) of our user base...but not
necessarily a large chunk of the developers.

I don't know if there are any OpenBSD "developers" right now...I'm
FreeBSD, as I believe Vadim is, Bruce is BSD/OS, and Thomas is Linux...I
don't know what anyone else is...except D'Arcy, who's Net/BSD ... Vince, I
believe, is FreeBSD also ... so there is a pretty good proportion of *BSD
users out there, but I don't think any of us use ODBC vs 'straight
interfaces'...

Basically, if you are non-Linux in this world nowadays, you have to learn
to be a little more pushy to get your point across :(

I'd like to use PostgreSQL, but it doesn't seem like there is

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Re: your mail

Nothing strange - MySQL is the best free (and not only free) tool for the
fast search engines (when you do not need the full SQL), and PSQL is the
only stable free full (almost full) SQL DBA.
