Re: SAPDB Open Souce

I have attached the original message and my reply. The person was
asking how we could used SAP "to see what postgres can learn". My reply
was to say that I couldn't figure how how to learn anything from the
code. That was my only statement.

I did not trash SAP DB. Seems using their development tools may make
the code much easier to understand. Hopefully someone will try.
