I'd be horribly remiss if I didn't mention our own PostBooks project, a fully open source cousin of the OpenMFG ERP
Suite- http://sf.net/projects/postbooks. All the business logic is in pl/pgsql functions, triggers, and such, and it
scaleswonderfully on the back of the underlying Postgres database. The primary client is a GUI built with Qt, but
therehave been a number of other front-ends built, including web portals and wireless devices.
Not only does it have more big-time ERP functionality than any other open source project (see www.xtuple.com/comparison
forsome functional detail), but it even has a cool Postgres-inspired name! What more could you want in a Postgres
killerapp? ;-)
Cheers,
Ned
