> I have a general question about who is using Postgresql.
One thing that has not been mentioned is the ability to start companies
with a very small budget.
I am developing the webified office backend on an oldish Mac OSX laptop
with postgres / php / apache. I am Mr Mom and the laptop allows me too
work instantly with partners, clients and the main website. The
flexibility is fantastic.
Ever tried to put oracle on a laptop?? A coworker has, and for some
reason 5 high end laptops could keep him busy for a few days with
oracle, java and configuration, etc. I think it took much longer then an
hour just to load oracle. The first time I set up the Mac it took 30
minutes to get everything going with no problems.
I met a few of the developers at a past Linux expo. They seemed very
nice and very capable. I am very pleased with the development pace and
focus of postgres. Each new release is like christmas :-) Plus the
postgres lists are great sources of education!
Thanks, Jeff Fitzmyers
