Hi Justin, Just Sports USA, my employer is the largest professional
sports licensed merchandise retailer in the US and we use PostgreSQL as
the foundation of our technology solution that runs everything from our
purchasing system to our in-store point-of-sale systems. Contact me if
you would like a more detailed description of our use, how it's worked
flawlessly for us for over 3 years, or anything else related.
