Stonebraker's commentary was unfortunately spun by the ComputerWorld
columnist. I hope people followed the link to his actual blog entry at
http://www.databasecolumn.com/2007/09/one-size-fits-all.html where his
arguement is that the idea of one database approach always being right
just isn't true anyway. With that mindset, every technology is a niche
product of sorts; just the size of the niche varies.
Given past history of this project and its relation to Stonebraker, I was
tempted earlier today to suggest that the Postgres vs. PostgreSQL renaming
argument be dropped in favor of renaming the database "Horizontica".
