Hi all. I would like to know if postgresql has any certification for the military environment. If possible, please answer me directly (I'm not on this mailing list). Otherwise, I will read from the web interface. Regards Marco

There are no official certifications, nor are there likely to be. But certifications may be offered by individual companies, like Red Had does with Linux. Here is one which might be of interest: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&selm=20041014.104826.128620349.t-ishii%40sra.co.jp > > If possible, please answer me directly (I'm not on > this mailing list). > Otherwise, I will read from the web interface. > > Regards > Marco > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I don't believe this has been done, however, I know that postgresql was included in a recent (I believe DOD) report about open source software being used within the government. One company you might want to contact is http://www.devis.com who has done a number of different projects with the government. Hope this helps, and if you do get a definitive answer, please post your finding to the -advocacy group. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

Not to question your data, but where did the info about the navy and army using it come from? I saw nothing on the advocacy site nor did any google search for press releases come up with anything.....I'd actually love to know how/where they are using it... Joshua D.

I can not tell you what they are using it for. I can tell you that all of them sans Sandia Labs, Utah and CA are customers. I know CA uses it cause I have given them gratis consulting and I know Utah uses it because they have asked to bid on a couple of projects. I know Sandia uses it for the same reason I know Utah uses it. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake > > > Joshua D. Drake wrote: > >> PostgreSQL is use in several branches of the government.

My problem however was not with certification of a person as an expert of postgres, but of certification of the platform as suitable for military enviroment (like the C2 or ITSEC certifications...)

USA Homeland Security also uses it, but I can't say how I know. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joshua D.

I am working for the french governement and currently we have only EAL-4 for around 30 packages from Debian GNU/Linux v3.0 (WOODY) reached. The rest (~450) of the selected Packages are in EAL-3. Our goal is to reach EAL-5 not only for Servers but Workststions to. Maybe in the middle of the next year we will create a public mirror. Unfortunatly many Developers do not like to follow the CC-EAL. > If possible, please answer me directly (I'm not on this mailing list). > Otherwise, I will read from the web interface. > Regards > Marco Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
