No, I meant its an object relational database. I didn't mean to start
a feakin holy war here, I just wanted to point out that an option
exists where the original reply hinted that there was none.
Honestly, some of you guys get your dander up in a hurry over the
tiniest details and it may even be on something you don't know as well
you think you do. Its things like this that make it really hard for
someone to ask for or get any help out here. And the thing about a
REAL DEVELOPER, is just bait for a pissing match. Sort of like
someone who goes out and buys a karate black belt then goes around
picking fights to justify to himself that he's a big man. (watch,
next I'll get cussed at and put down because that's usually the only
place left to go for someone like that).
You can't call somebody stupid because they don't know something. If
that were true then you'd have to call everyone here stupid and
incompetent because the whole reason to use a newsgroup is so that you
can ask questions of your peers ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER
TO. Sooner or later someone is going to need to ask a question about
something they don't know anything about. If you call them stupid for
doing that, its back on you three times. A REAL developer is smart
enough to realize that it doesn't matter how much you know -- because
there's so much more you don't and its all just syntax anyway. A REAL
developer is secure enough to ask for help when needed and give the
help without judgement or criticism when they can.
If you want to argue the Postgres point, take it up with the guys at
Berkeley. They seem to think they know what they are talking about:
From
http://postgresql.com/docs/7.4/static/preface.html#INTRO-WHATIS
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS)
based on POSTGRES, Version 4.2, developed at the University of
California at Berkeley Computer Science Department. POSTGRES pioneered
many concepts that only became available in some commercial database
systems much later.
I use quite a few of the features like inheritance in the database and
find them very useful. I have personall found it very stable and
secure, beats out MySQL in the capabilities department and you can't
beat the price!
