PostgreSQL Inc. Open Sources Replication Solution
Martin Marvinski writes "PostgreSQL Inc, the commercial company providing replication software and support for PostgreSQL, open sourced their eRServer replication product. This makes PostgreSQL one step closer to being able to replace Oracle as the de facto RDBMS standard. More information can be found on PostgreSQL's website."
Oh no! Are the replicators here?!
Suck it down, my coon-dogs.
YOU HAVE FAILED! You got the 7th pr0st33Z! I got the 6th, and I called it. You didn't. u r teh sux.

Who is robbIE? And what is the deal with that guy?
Ahh....Monsters statistics also have more jobs for M$ software, so therefore it must be the future!???
There is naught, nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth as that prince of databases....PostgreSQL!! (and Mimer).
Why hasn't Ghostbusters 3 been made? Seriously now think about it, wouldn't a third Ghostbusters movie be cool? IMO Bill Murray doesn't seem to have many award winning movies coming his way in the near future. IT'S TIME for a Ghostbusters 3 movie!
Cmon say it with me, Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters! Yeah! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS
that's right. J. Public et AL has yet to become involved in open/honest 'net communications/commerce in a meaningful way. that's mostly due to the MiSinformation suppLIEd buy phonIE ?pr? ?firm?/stock markup FraUD execrable, etc...
.asp on that. when the lights come up, there'll be no going back, & no where to hide.
truth is, there's no better/more affordable/effective way that we know of, for J. to reach other J.'s &/or their respective markets.
the recipe is:
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. vote with yOUR wallet. more breathing. seek others of non-agressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit.
use key words/indexing to identify yourself/your products.
the overbullowned greed/fear based phonIE marketeers are self eliminating by their owned greed/fear/ego based evile MiSintentions. they must deny the existence of the power that is dissolving their ability to continue their self-centered evile behaviours.
as the lights continue to come up, you'll see what we mean. meanwhile, there are plenty of challenges, not the least of which is the planet/population rescue (from the corepirate nazi/walking dead contingent) initiative.
EVERYTHING is going to change, despite the lameNT of the evile wons. you can bet your
we weren't planted here to facilitate/perpetuate the excesses of a handful of Godless felons. you already know that? yOUR ONLY purpose here is to help one another. any other pretense is totally false.
pay attention (to yOUR environment, for example). that's quite affordable, & leads to insights on preserving life as it should/could/will be again. everything's ALL about yOUR motives.
take care, we're here for you.
as for va lairIE/robbIE et AL, & their disgusting need to suck up to their corepirate nazi sponsors buy use of manipulation/censorship. they are their owned reward eye gas.
mr auerbach seems like a decent sort. icann see how he would be somewhat discouraged.

The difference isn't in the publicity. mySql is the dumber database and therefore used by the people that don't understand things like transactions etc. Just like their are still people developing applications on top of access databases and most of them are feeling very smart and think they understand databases...
without an optimizer, your database is nothing more than a glorified record server. if you REALLY want speed for a record server, try sleepycat.
I'm from an Oracle background, so I want to take this away from being about MySQL or any other DB. However, your statement about transactions really gets to me.
I work hard when I write code that talks to a database to NEVER use transactions or rollback unless there is just no way around it (and while I've come up with some hypothetical situations where that would happen, I've never run into them in the real world).
The problem with transactions is that they cultivate an attitude about your data which is very, very dangerous. I can't count how many reasonable-looking applications have caused untold damage because the developer stopped thinking about the consequences of their actions.
By forcing myself to deal with those consequences manually by doing my own locking and my own data-integrety management, I find that I can rely on my data far more than most people can, and the likelihood that one of my programs is going to "go bad" and rip out whole transactional units just because an non-essential field was initialized oddly is much, much lower.
Now, of course, going back to MySQL, you have the option today: do you want to use transactions? If so, your schema will reflect that, and you'll take the performance hit that everyone else does when you enable them. I never do, but you're welcome to. That's what software should be all about: giving the user all of the choices they need.
All that said, I love PostgreSQL, and I hope that both databases continue to kick the commercial databases' butts for decades to come!
