  1. Chocked

    ohp@pyrenet.fr — 2005-07-29T17:33:18Z

    Who copied?
    
    I've been to mysql site 2 mn ago (did'nt occur since at least 6 months)
    title says : Mysql: The world most advanced opensource database.
    
    Isn't it the title for postgresql?
    
    It seems weird for both projects to have the same claim (although it's
    true for postgreql...)
    
    Regards

    I just checked and it states (exactly what it has for years) 
    "The world's most popular open source database"

    OHP,

    Just to head this off:  no, it doesn't.
    
    It says: MySQL: The world's most popular open source database
                                                        ^^^^^
    
    That's been their slogan for quite a while.  It's not precisely accurate 
    either, depending on your version of "popular", but it does provide a nice 
    contrast between us and them.

    They tool their current slogan as a response to ours.

    They usually claim to be the world's most POPULAR open source database...
