Re: Process Time X200

Ok, Everybody keeps saying that Postgresql is free...

So I contacted my webhost and their respons was they have to pay a license
fee.

But because they use PLESK as a service I think they are refering to a fee
PLESK charges them
for the use combination PLESK - POSTGRESQL

I do not know however that this information is accurate...

I thank everybody who have responded so far. Great feedback!
