I have not actually installed RHEL3 to check, but my understanding is
that it's not there. There was a last-minute decision taken to pull
PG and MySQL from the base distribution with the intent of packaging
them as a separate "layered product". Latest word is that that plan
is off again, leaving us (RH) with no open-source database support
and lots of egg on our faces. So yeah, I'm a bit annoyed. I suppose
some RHEL3 packages will emerge from the mess eventually, but I don't
know exactly how or when.
I think it's important for the powers-that-be to realize that they are
not messing around with unimportant software that no one uses. Thus
my encouragement to people to send in complaints.
regards, tom lane
