I can see that they want to know how many "large" db's are in use. The
real query is what options are there to choose from? <1GB or <.25GB and
<.5GB ...



My main question is why do they need this on the postgresql site when
they can run it on their site and use this mailing list and maybe the
postgresql site to get postgresql users there to fill it out?

If it is on their site I see no issue with them asking about EDB. If it
is on the postgresql site then it should be a postgresql questionnaire
not an EDB questionnaire.

Maybe the last question should be -
Would you/do you use a commercially supported/enhanced version of
postgresql?
If so which one?
