I think CMD can claim to be the _largest_ dedicated PostgreSQL _support_
provider in North America.

However, they support CMD closed-source products too, so why is CMD a
dedicated PostgreSQL support company and EDB is not?

I know I posted earlier today that CMD was dedicated to PostgreSQL
support, but now I am not sure how this is any different than how EDB's
PostgreSQL support.

The bottom line is that the CMD tag line is looking more like an "up to"
marketing twist to me the more I think about it.  (Not that that is a
bad thing, of course.  ;-))
