I just had a friend over at EDS ask me if PostgreSQL supported //
comments. It didn't, so I put together a patch for them so that they
could retain compatiblity across the databases they work on.
I didn't think much of it until I took a gander at the crash-me page
on mysql.com and I couldn't find a single vendor that supports //
comments, but it did list // as an ANSI supported comment. ::shrug::
I don't have a copy of the spec, so someone more knowledgable in that
area will have to speak to this or whether or not support for // is
even wantd, but, here's the patch and regression tests. -sc
