Thread: Case study: Proximity
I tried sending this in earlier -- but it doesn't seem to have gotten through. Following is a case study written by myself and laid out by Omar and Emily. http://www.alcove.com.au/~swm/Proximity10.pdf There are some great quotes for the site in this. Thanks, Gavin

Yep. I think it's a good case study. It's for the postgresql.org Web site by the way -- can someone put it up? Gavin

I'd like to add "We consider the availability of source code a major advantage of using an open source database. We haven't had to go a fix any bugs ourselves, but we have peered at the source to satisfy ourselves as to how things work" -- Tim Allen, Senior Software Developer, Proximity Group. Also I would like to add dates to the case studies descriptions on the site unless there are any objections. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL

I think the PDF itself should be dated too. I'll talk to Omar. Thanks, Gavin
