Hmmm.... Thinking of PostgreSQL vs MySQL vs. Firebird.....
Unfortunately most of my complex queries are 8-10 lines long and use
features such as subselects and UNION statements. Those will show the
difference between MySQL and PostgreSQL, but should work in
Interbase/Firebird.
I am afraid the request to demonstrate the logic power of PostgreSQL in
one line is sort of like asking for a proof to Fermat's Theorem in one
double-spaced page and normal font size. If someone can do this, I will
be quite impressed :-P
Maybe a really simple PLPerl function might be a good idea?
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
