I am quite happy with the c-language API for postgres, as far as it's
capabilities and access to low-level postgres. OK, the docs and examples could
be better. Am I missing something in Chad's comments/warnings or is he
missing something in not understanding pg better?
Chad, could you say more about what in the BDB/API is missing and needed in postgres?

Could it be that Oracle's recent company purchases were intended simply to confuse
people about the future of MySQL and therefore ecourage them to select Oracle?
