Kevin,

Our customer is




The Caisse Nationale d'Allocations Familiales (CNAF) - the family branch of the French social security system, which provided some €69 billion of benefits to 11 million claimants in 2009.



The sales team asks if it is possible for the CIO of CNAF to meet with a large U.S. user of Postgres.


Would appreciate your thoughts...

The Wisconsin Court System is not a prominent enough user to make
the Wikipedia list mentioned in another post, but each day we
execute about 80 million database transactions against about 100
databases distributed around the state.  Many of those transactions
involve using a cursor to loop through large result sets; so, while
I don't have hard numbers on the number of SQL statements executed
each day, it would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of a
billion.
