Some Aberdeen report

Has anyone read this?:

http://lwn.net/Articles/78285/

It seems that it has some facts wrong about postgresql in there, for
example it claims that postgresql doesn't have rowlevel locking,
deadlock detection, or even encryption (i think protocol security here).

This might be an interesting read, and i think someone from the
marketing lists/group should send them an friendly mail pointing out any
wrong facts, i don't feel too sure about what (more) they might have
gotten wrong.

Regards
Magnus

we're discussing it on -advocacy, and "some facts wrong" ranks as *the*
understatement of the week :)  There are more facts wrong on it then there
are right :(
