When I saw the image, I had to check at mysql.com to ensure that
the dolphin actually *is* the MySQL mascot.

Whereas despite the crashes, the Space Shuttle with it's
Add-On-Collection look alike is yet most popular ;-)

BTW this weekend we are going to launch a new satellite using
ariane V rockets ( http://www.satexpo.it/en/news-new.php/1?c=6531 )
this mean more users and more stress for our Postgres installation :-)

Re: PostgreSQL versus MySQL

Hello,

All due respect to everyone but political correctness is essentially
the living with the feeling that you are a politician.
I am not a politician, neither is Command Prompt. We are a business, we
have opinions, views and a sense of humor.
These traits may or may not be representative of other people's views,
opinions and or sense of humor. If it is not
to your liking, don't view it, and don't purchase a shirt of mug.

Personally I have no problem standing up and saying, we going to eat
you alive because in my not so humble opinion,
and my very business plan states that our purpose is insure that
PostgreSQL is the number one choice for database use
in the small to medium size business. If that means I upset some people
along the way... well I am not a politician, I don't
have to make everybody happy.

Cheers!

Joshua D. Drake
