Even though Redshift is based on PostgreSQL 8.0, hasn't it diverged enough that it's not really PostgreSQL anymore?

- grzm 10y agoYes. Nit: PostgreSQL 8 doesn't really describe a particular version. 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 are all major PostgreSQL versions. Edited to add: Redshift was based on 8.0.2.
