"Same as MySQL" is impossible. We can pick here and there and add tons of duplicate interfaces, play catch-up when they change them, but there's always going to be a next feature that "would be *really* nice if PostgreSQL could support it and it would surely draw *tons* of users to PostgreSQL". Freely written MySQL code is basically completely incompatible with PostgreSQL, so someone who needs to switch will have to relearn anyway. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
