PostgreSQL 8.0 ??
I was thinking and it seems that by the next release of Postgres we might
have:
* Schemas
* Domains
* Maybe a new on-the-wire protocol
* ...and maybe prepared statement support to go along with??
Doesn't this seem like postgresql 8.0, rather than 7.3?

It took us five years to go from 6.0 to 7.0 ... I don't think we
need talk about 8.0 for awhile yet.
I'm not in favor of arbitrary "release number inflation". A release
is a release, whatever you call it.

Personally, I have to agree with Tom,
Silly versioning like that is for marketing teams and microsoft ;-)
<sarcasm>How about the next version be released as PostgreSQL
XP</sarcasm>

Well, if we can get a *really good operating version of PostgreSQL in

On a slightly related note, and just as whimsical nature...
I've often wondered now many people actual say the name 'PostgreSQL',
I mean it flows off the tongue so easily! Whereas 'Postgres' is 100
times simpler...

The proper pronunciation is on the PostgreSQL home page in mp3 and
wav formats. The above implies that the second sylable is pronounced
with a long e which is incorrect.

Sorry, that should've been "post-gres-ql", same as the mp3.

I know how it's pronounced, I never said anything to the contrary! The
actual fact that there is a need for the pronunciation on the webpage
hints at my point - it's a real mouthful!
And as I said this was a 'whimsical' post - I don't really care either
way what the name is... But i'm sure most people shorten it to
Postgres.

I often omit the the -gre- part so it comes out as PostSQL - most people
never notice..
Postgres is a different project, with a different Query langauge ...
Postgres 95 is what - a different project with the same query language,
or the same project with a different name?
Of course we should have gone the industry standard way - first to
Postgres 98, then 5.0/2000 and then XP :)
Btw there are rumours that the next version of Windows will be based on
relational data storage thus they too will reach WindowSQL soon. Hah!

What is so hard about: Post-GreS-Q-L? I've yet to have a problem with it
rolling off the tongue ...
Now, of course, if you want Postgres, we can always rip out the SQL,
revert back to PostQuel for the Query language ... but I suspect you might
be one of the few that wants that, no? :) That woudl kinda set us back ~6
years and put the project back into UofC@B, no?

Let us not all think we are "too good" not to market our work.
I have been involved with too many projects that were technically better, but
managed and marketed poorly, thus failed.
PostgreSQL could use a bit of marketing here and there. The version number
thing? I don't know, but a bit of competitive window dressing would help a
great deal.
I don't know about you guys, but I would LOVE PostgreSQL to be the dominant SQL
engine on small to medium deployments. Not only is it capable of doing so, it
is better than almost all the technologies in that space.
For PostgreSQL to achieve its real potential, the game must be played.

Agreed.

Hmm. Would "PostgreSQL version (Oracle + 1)i" be too transparent? ;)

I think that it makes better sense than PostgreSQL XP. Whatever
"marketing" you guys plan to do make sure you mix in a vowel or two.
Personally I would promote the idea of going "all out" and naming the
new version of PostgreSQL something like:
PostgreSQL 2002i XP Anywhere eDatabase-O-Matic.NET
This might require a change in the MP3 pronunciation file, and you
probably wouldn't want to make the name change official until you
bumped up the maximum column length.
