Overlap with StackOverflow. – KennyTM Jun 6 at 19:01

I've asked database questions on both Stack Overflow and Server Fault. Stack Overflow gets you quicker and better answers simply because more people hang out there. I suspect a strictly database site, would suffer the same way – cindi Jun 8 at 17:22

Like the idea. there's a lot with databases that isn't development or admin (eg modelling). I'll come up with some questions. – Gary Jun 18 at 6:58

I think that the proposals should have a straightforward title. It's too early to think about clever branding. – Tadeusz A. KadÅ‚ubowski Jun 28 at 10:52

I think you should rename this to just "Databases". At this stage this is just a proposal, the time to start thinking about names is when the site hits beta. Right now, you're just missing out on follows who don't realise what this proposal is about. – Simon P Stevens Jul 28 at 10:59
