Yeah. Would be good if we can figure out something that would help
postgresql increase its usage or mind share.
At least so that even the big bosses might be fine with using postgresql.
I'd really rather use postgresql.
Back in the postgres95 days, MySQL just won hands down. Then it

started rapidly getting better and better..
