It looks like Red Hat has announced an open source database called Red Hat
Database:

(via slashdot:)
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20010619/tc/red_hat_to_play_in_oracle_s_arena_1.html

Why is this not PostgreSQL? Why can't the Red Hat folks sell support to
PostgreSQL, rather than developing another open source database and
supporting that? Is it a conflict with GreatBridge? This looks like it could
have been a great opportunity for PostgreSQL....
