Re: PostgreSQL in mission-critical system

Hi,

Because of NDA , I can't say exactly the project I work on, but it is
"money" related and currently stores over 60000 transactions totaling
several million dollars.

PostgreSQL hasn't even blinked, records are always balanced, stability
has never been an issue, hell it's even fast ;) [read: fast enough]

We are accessing the database using Perl and DBI.

Jeff.
