Re: Wanted: new project slogan

I know this thread is long dead and this isn't a good slogan any way but:

PostgreSQL: Put away childish things.

First: its horrible.
Second: It really only compares PostgreSQL and MySQL.

On the other hand -
* Why do I need an index for each foreign key? Oh! Its because MySQL
things I'm some kind of blithering idiot. Of course I can't disable that
behavior! And how in the world did http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21395 come
about?
* SELECT post_id, count(*) FROM comment; works in MySQL. It produces one
row. GROUP BY is for suckers.
* Non transactional tables are the default?!
* The connector is GPL!?

I only write this because I recently worked myself into a ten minute long
rage and want to share.
