krow writes "One of the unique qualities of the MySQL server is its ability to have multiple storage engine operate concurrently. Companies like Oracle and Solid have contributed their own storage engines to the open source project. With 5.1 MySQL has added the ability to now do this in a loadable fashion, allowing dynamic engines in the same manner as Apache with its modules. Now PostgreSQL can add its self to the list of databases who have contributed a storage engine to MySQL. I'm releasing today a plugin so that you can now plugin the Postgres database engine into MySQL and have it work natively along side other engines."

One of the problems with Postgresql versus MySQL is that it is typically much, much slower and less capable. THis should address those problems.

5.1 is old. Wake me up when they've got a true 7.1 setup available.

I compiled and installed the plugin and every time I try it, get the following:

mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN postgres SONAME 'libpostgres_engine.so'; ... where am I? Oh God no. No. NO! kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) kill(getpid(), 9) ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

It's kinda like someone making an add-on to firefox to allow it to use IE as a render engine in a given tab.
Oh, wait...
