Re: PostgreSQL 7.4beta5 vs MySQL 4.0.16 with RT(DBIx::SearchBuilder)

Actually PostgreSQL is at par with MySQL when the query is being Properly Written(simplified)
like below

rt3=# SELECT DISTINCT main.* FROM Groups main join Principals Principals_1 using(id) join ACL
ACL_2 on (ACL_2.PrincipalId = Principals_1.id) WHERE ((ACL_2.RightName =
'OwnTicket')OR(ACL_2.RightName = 'SuperUser')) AND ( ( ACL_2.PrincipalType = 'Group' AND (
main.Domain = 'SystemInternal' OR main.Domain = 'UserDefined' OR main.Domain = 'ACLEquivalence') )
OR ( ( (main.Domain = 'RT::Queue-Role' AND main.Instance = 25) OR ( main.Domain =
'RT::Ticket-Role' AND main.Instance = 6973) ) AND main.Type = ACL_2.PrincipalType ) ) AND
(ACL_2.ObjectType = 'RT::System' OR (ACL_2.ObjectType = 'RT::Queue' AND ACL_2.ObjectId = 25) )
ORDER BY main.Name ASC ;
id | name | description | domain | type | instance

(5 rows)

In mysql:

So its not just PostgreSQL that is suffering from the bad SQL but MySQL also.
But the question is my does PostgreSQL suffer so badly ??
I think not all developers write very nice SQLs.

Its really sad to see that a fine peice of work (RT) is performing sub-optimal
becoz of malformed SQLs. [ specially on database of my choice ;-) ]
