Postgres Engine for MySQL Released

SlashRating^© 11.9 slashdottit! ^tm krow writes "One of the unique qualities of the MySQL server is its ability to have multiple storage engine operate concurrently. Companies like Oracle and Solid have contributed their own storage engines to the open source project. With 5.1 MySQL has added the ability to now do this in a loadable fashion, allowing dynamic engines in the same manner as Apache with its modules. Now PostgreSQL can add its self to the list of databases who have contributed a storage engine to MySQL. I'm releasing today a plugin so that you can now plugin the Postgres database engine into MySQL and have it work natively along side other engines."

Hey . I really DIGG this new slashrating system! It's as if microsoft were in the room show the slash guys how to Innovate. My , we've come a long way. Didn't Oracle buy the mySQL transaction engine which meant mySQL were strategically dead in the water. It's a bit naughty to say that Oracle are supplying a plug in, they just bought the most important existing one to blow mySQL out of the water.

However, I'm sure that the slashdotit is an April fool, just like postgres for mySQL.
