Thread: Red Hat Database
An article on Slashdot mentions that Red Hat is announcing a database product next week and there is quite a bit of speculation that it is based on PostgreSQL. Any info here? Hunter
I receieved a query from a reporter looking for info; they alledged that redhat was going to be selling postgres as well. Interesting since both companies share a common major shareholder. --dc-- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hunter Hillegas" <lists@lastonepicked.com> To: "PostgreSQL" <pgsql-general@postgresql.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 2:53 PM Subject: [GENERAL] Red Hat Database > An article on Slashdot mentions that Red Hat is announcing a database > product next week and there is quite a bit of speculation that it is based > on PostgreSQL.

I received an email from a reporter at Network World confirming that it was PostgreSQL and asking me for my opinion on the matter.

Also.... the comment that RHDB would be better for small businesses than large ones makes me think that it's not exactly high-performance or full-featured. : ) steve

I think the comment was more geared towards the enormously expensive support
offered by Oracle and not by Red Hat:
"For the software to catch on beyond smaller customers, though, Red Hat
will have to offer round-the-clock support, he said. 'At the enterprise
level, they're not going to make a dent. But for small and midsized
companies, they could do pretty well.' "
