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."

This evolution would bring together the legendary speed of postgresql with the phenomenal consistency and standards compliance of MySQL.

Which is to say, it's completely backward -- a fusion of the worst of each.
