I really thought Great Bridge was one of the few Open Source companies that would really thrive, at least once the economy picks up again. This was a real shock. Does that leave Red Hat the main (only?) commercial supporter of PostgreSQL? Not that it really needs expensive support. I'm finding that it just works. Maybe THAT was the problem... :-) Best to all, Micah -- Like to travel? http://TravTalk.org Micah Yoder Internet Development http://yoderdev.com
Ummmm ... PostgreSQL, inc (http://www.pgsql.com) was around before GB, and is still around now ...

Great Bridge .org, http://greatbridge.org/, will remain in place until projects are migrated to a new site. Are there any plans to migrate things like the information on their benchmarks against other databases? Those are valuable pieces of information in the broader PostgreSQL context and it would be a shame to loose them. Cheers, Brook
> Does that leave Red Hat the main (only?) commercial supporter of PostgreSQL? Heh, Hardly, there is PGSQL, Inc. and Command Prompt, Inc. (my company). We have been around for almost four years and have provided custom development and support for PostgreSQL (starting with Postgres95) since that time. There are also several other companies listed on the .org site that provide support. You should check out our up-coming book, Practical PostgreSQL: http://stage.linuxports.com/projects/postgres/book1.htm J > > Not that it really needs expensive support.
