[Quoted] Look, this crap is based on Stonebraker's Ingres. Like the original, these idiots concentrated on "functionality" instead of making sure they had a solid data management engine.
Like the original, it loses data at the drop of a hat. Like the original, if a layer of serious data management is added the performance goes out the window.

[Quoted] He can run fsync until the cows come home. The problem is and has always been the total wanton disregard for data security from the Stonebraker mob. They don't have a SINGLE person with data management experience ANYWHERE in their group! All a bunch of academics with pretentious titles and even bigger egos, that's all.
