PostgreSQL *must* be the leading open source SQL database, now. People are bashing us on Slashdot. That's always a sign of success.

YOU are the sole cause of global warming. If it weren't for YOU, the Cuban Missile Crisis would never have happened and the global economy would not be in a recession.
