Good Morning Walter
dont forget MySQL also has support for simple commands such as
show databases
show tables
support for compiling and execution of Procedures in Postgres is nonexistent
99% of SQL code in either Oracle and MySQL DB's are written in
Procedures..trying to port that to Postgres is a very long and tedious
uphill climb
Comments?
