Earlier quoted context omitted.
Was MariaDB ever called MariaSQL? When?
I referred to MySQL vs MariaDB
Then you were even more wrong. MariaDB wasn't just "a new name" for MySQL.
When did Postgres become cool?

Re: When did Postgres become cool?
#182As with anything truly cool, it was cool long before most people noticed. I have been using Postgres on and off since ~7.2 and it has always been amazing. Being known as cool takes time.
Coolness is not evenly distributed :-) Even banks now have Postgres, it doesn't hurt that Oracle is such a nightmare to deal with..
Ha yeah we used to have to sneak in Postgres apps back in day. Some banks were indeed cooler than others.
