Re: Change to EnterpriseDB website - Mailing list pgsql-advocacy

Folks,

I wanted to let you know that we have changed the text on our website

from:  

EnterpriseDB substantially enhanced PostgreSQL, the world's most

advanced open source database, to create the EnterpriseDB Database

Server. The product retains the legendary stability and reliability of

PostgreSQL while performing up to 200% faster.

To:  

EnterpriseDB substantially enhanced PostgreSQL, the world's most

advanced open source database, to create the EnterpriseDB Database

Server. The product retains the legendary stability and reliability of

PostgreSQL while adding Oracle compatibility and DynaTune(tm), an

automated tuning function that reduces the need to continually manage

performance.

We will be making the same change to our data sheet as well.

Which means what exactly? Precisely nothing as far as whether CMD

are

THE PostgreSQL Company or A PostgreSQL Company.

Precisely nothing to you, which I accept. It a differentiating

factor

for us.

It also happens to be objectively false and misleading, as many people

have told you many times.  To take one example, Varlena LLC has been

doing exclusively PostgreSQL for quite some time.  There are other

companies not based in North America that do the same.  Please stop

this, keeping in mind that business in Matthew 7:1-5.

Sincerely,

who also does PostgreSQL exclusively, and doesn't work at CMD.

To the point, if you are willing to accept that there are companies

other than CMD which could be reasonably described as "A PostgreSQL

Company" then CMD calling themselves "The PostgreSQL Company" doesn't

seem all that reasonable.

CMD has a lot to offer as a company. I can't understand why they'd

waste the attention of a potential client with what is clearly

marketing speak.
