Re: New and investigating

Thanks for the link David, it indeed was interesting. That story speaks very
well of PostgreSQL. That experience relates to volume, would you have
anything else that relates more to an OLTP environment? (to complete the
picture).

Now... (this is for everybody, not David in particular)

A lil' problem i have (generally speaking, in my search for info) is that i
haven't find anything else yet that is more "oficial" or more numerous.
That's only a mail on a mailing list after all, you know.

It evidently is a very interesting case, but if i want to doubt of it, i
would have several good reasons just by what's written there. I can't take
it for sure as something real and definitive. It would be more helpful if
there would be more cases like that, and with some level of "oficiality"
(doubtless stuff).

Other DB vendors usually have a list of clients with cases documented. You
can go fetch information if you need to.

For now i only have one such case here: the one that PostgreSQL itslef
publishes on its advocacy page, of BASF northamerica. But even that one
speaks a lot of projections, and not so much of things that have already
happen...

I am not being paranoic, just cautious and responsible.

I want to believe in PostgreSQL. I am not trying to discredit it. All the
contrary, i want to find apropriate information. The logical reasonment is:
"if PostgreSQL is good, it must prove somewhere. Where are the cases?". So,
where are they?

I really want to know.

Any more pointers, anybody?
