I chanced to meet Linksvayer @ Greenspun's latest One-Day lecture in Millbrae. I formed an impression of him being a very well-informed character, which finds me all the more suprised by his post -
"If Bitzi is successful, we'd push far beyond what anyone has tried with PG so far".
Mike, them's fightin' words.
We've already seen some very impressive sites built with Postgres; we also know the standard litany of Postgres/Oracle shortcomings -- what are you missing? Moreover - scanning the bitzi plan, I would assume that success translates into a very large number of machines in quite a small amount of time -- the licensing costs for Oracle could be prohibitive bordering on terrifying.
Anyway, glad to see you here.
