johnnyb writes "The .org domain, which has long run on Oracle systems, is now being transferred to a PostgreSQL system. I guess we can now dispel the "untested in mission-critical applications" myth."

    .ca runs on MS-DOS running some home brew DB that is just a bunch of batch files

    "No one ever got fired for selecting Oracle, so we asked ourselves, Do we take that option?" he said.

    Not true! I know someone who got fired for choosing oracle, then being unable to properly implement it.

    Now we get to see how PostgreSQL handles those 98 % of wasted inquiries from DNS servers that don't know .elvis is not a TLD.

      you (and sadly, too many others) should read rfc 1035.

      Well, I would read it . . . except that it's SO completely useless and uninteresting to me.

      You'll note Slashdot uses MySQL and is very happy.

  7. We put the ---- in dot-ORG by penguin_punk · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ok. I think I figured it out.

    Microsoft puts the "." in .CA

    Sun puts the "." in .COM

    PostgreSQL puts the "E_fatalError - Database error" in .ORG?

    I have a test on this tomorrow, so I just wanted to make sure.

    laugh.
