Man, tough crowd. Did you see how much they were talking about count(*)?

8.0 is an amazing release, I can't believe such a negative thread got so
much attention, especially since the issue is so insignificant.

Congratulations to the developers and release people, you did a great
job!

Regards,

Slashdot is good for press, not intelligent conversation. Most
of the people commenting on Slashdot about PostgreSQL don't
really have a clue about it...

I saw a lot of... there is no replication and even Pervasive
is the first commercial company to support it ;)

Sincerely,

Slashdot as always been religious about MySQL, and took a long time
for even PHP to become accepted.

This was actually a great response coming from a very
MySQL-is-the-only-database-for-the-universe crowd...

Actually, our "Slashdot Image" has been overwhelming positive over the last
year.  This is mainly because Slashdot hates a successful (by some
definition) company, and always supports the "underdog".  Check any post on
Red Hat, and you'll see how they became "the evil empire" the first quarter
they posted a profit.

Currently, this works in our favor, but if MySQL started to fall apart, it
would turn against us.
