I often omit the the -gre- part so it comes out as PostSQL - most people

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!
