Everybody I know also still sais "Postgres", leaving out the Q L becaus it is too long. In german we would not have the "sequel" problem, since we pronounce it "ess ku ell". I think they all know that they are really referring to PostgreSQL. Guess what you find under www.postgres.com ? Yes, it is Great Bridge. postgresql.com is taken by some Korean domain grabber. BTW Marc, I would make www.postgres.org point to postgresql. Andreas
