Re: An article mentioning PostgreSQL

Yeah, we made an announcement to -general a few weeks ago, but didn't cross-post to -hackers.

Cheers to all. Obviously as a co-founder of Great Bridge, I'm a big believer in Postgres. OpenMFG makes extensive use of pl/pgsql for most of its ERP business logic.

We've also been beta testing PeerDirect's new Windows port, which I'd encourage more people to get involved with. As has been observed on this list before, as much as we all love Linux/BSD, if you don't have a Windows solution, you're missing an awfully big chunk of the market - and that's particularly true in our world of small manufacturing. That's why we chose Qt - one source tree, identical clients for Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac.

Regards,
Ned
