PostgreSQL 9.0 adds some features that make it particular well suited for cloud-style scaling deployments now, and it's a safe bet that somebody is planning product offerings in that area now that it's feasible to do so. -- Greg Smith, 2ndQuadrant US greg@2ndQuadrant.com Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support www.2ndQuadrant.us
