I didn't write it correctly. He said "Postgray" I think or "Postgree".
Both made me feel a little ill. The strange thing is that until
PostgreSQL got popular, no one really said the word, we just wrote it,
and my editor has a "PostgreSQL" string macro so I don't even type it
anymore, but when you start to talk to people, it does become a problem.
The idea of calling it "Postgres SQL Server" has merit because it is so
close to what we already have, just an added 's' and a space.
