To be transparent on this, I work for Dalibo. But I think the rest of
this tread is a bid misguided by this second translation.
I don't really know where this translation comes from (looks like an
automated translation to me), but it is inacurate:
Selon Jean-Paul Argudo, fondateur du site www.postgresql.fr et directeur
de DALIBO société spécialiste de PostgreSQL en France, « PostgreSQL est
plus que jamais l'alternative n°1 à Oracle...
Should be translated as:
According to Jean-Paul Argudo, founder of the site www.postgresql.fr and
directory of Dalibo, a company specialized on PostgreSQL in France,
"PostgreSQL is more than ever the #1 alternative to Oracle...
Nowhere it is said that Dalibo is the French branch of PostgreSQL or
anything like that. Only that Dalibo is specialized on PostgreSQL, and
is french. I hope this helps clarifying this.
The rest of the points discussed are of course valid ...
