Reminds me of how many names does Postgres have (at least five: pg, psql, pgsql, postgres, postgresql). LMAO the SEO is such chaos.
- SoftTalker 3y agoWas there ever a "gresql" that "postgresql" was the successor to?

- defrost 3y agoYep - beat me to that .. and I wanted to dive in as I once used Ingres before Postgres became a thing! I came to Postgres just before the GIS range filters were added and chipped in on the backend as a project (very old now) needed a DB with GIS capabilities.

- arcanemachiner 3y agoI settled on "Postgres" since it's the only one that does not have ambiguous pronunciation. Also the Postgres wiki explicitly mentions it as one of the official names (on mobile so too lazy to link).
- jasfi 3y agoSearch engines can handle synonyms like that quite easily. You wouldn't confuse any of those with something else easily. But Go is easily confused without additional terms to disambiguate.

- richbell 3y agoNot to mention all the content about "postgre".
