Yeah, I didn't say I *liked* their schema, just that I thought it would
be easy for them to support Postgres ;-)
Like it or not, they are one of the larger ERP/CRM players (after the
merger with JDEwards, they will be *ahead* of Oracle, only second to
SAP), and having them offer PostgreSQL support would be significant. If
the XA/Tuxedo thing is an issue, they could position it for mid-tier
customers who don't need the transaction manager anyway.
