On: Why does everyone run ancient Postgres versions?

[cenamus]

Is slony some sort of language joke? Slon is czech (probably slavic in general) for elephant.

(which may be actually derived from the turkish aslan, for lion, but somehow the animal got mixed up)

[newaccount74 → cenamus]

I think so. The PostgreSQL logo is an elephant, and the community calls him "Slonik", probably derived from the Russian word for elephant. There is also a node.js driver that is called "slonik"

[anticensor → cenamus]

Not really, the older form of Turkish aslan is actually arslan.

[cenamus → anticensor]

I just read that some time ago
