Praise from Bloomberg - Mailing list pgsql-advocacy

Folks,

Thought that people should see this article:

(yeah, awful URL)


I particularly like this part:

``The advantage of open source is pretty hard to match,'' said Ram
Mohan, chief technology officer at Afilias Ltd., which uses the free
Postgres database to store and manage 3.5 million Internet addresses.
``Microsoft makes awesome products, but they're not aimed at my
specific needs.''

Mohan, seeking a cheaper alternative to the Sun Microsystems Inc.
Unix-based gear he uses now, says he'll probably switch to Linux
because he likes the flexibility. He overhauled Postgres with new
features last year.
