Re: 20th anniversary of PostgreSQL ?

Hi All,

Can't resist to stay quite,
I am definitelly agree with Simon, PostgreSQL has longer story than '96,
used as research as well as commercial, and evolving better up to now.

So we have to appreciate what prof Mike has initiate in the past and what
DevGroup has done such great effort to support postgres being fastest
enterprise level database up to now....

Let's have great party with him...

Love u all,
