I couldn't have said it better myself. As far as I can see, there is absolutely zero reason to care about whether the product is called Postgres or PostgreSQL. If it were called WeGrindUpTheBonesOfSmallChildrenSQL, maybe a change would be worth considering. As it is, I submit that the product name is not on in the top 10,000 things we should be worried about fixing, even if there were a consensus that it were a good idea (which there isn't) and even if -core had not already made a decision on this point (which they have). What I think we SHOULD be worrying about right now is getting 9.0 out the door, and I am 100% opposed to letting ourselves getting sucked into this or any other discussion which is likely to make that take longer than it likely already will. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
