At the bottom of this page: http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support is a link to Open Source Experts: http://www.opensourcexperts.com/Index/index_html/PostgreSQL/index.html Not sure it is helpful & the links on the landing page are suspect. -- Mike Ellsworth

Opensourcexperts site appears to be completely borked. Are they out of business? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

Are they out of > business? I doubt it, the problem is more...I hate to say "hilarious" when it's causing them to look so bad, but for this list is kind of is. Do "view source" on one of the broken pages and you'll see something like this: <!-- OperationalError (1129, "Host 'saw2.nidelven-it.no' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'") <p>Traceback (innermost last): <ul> <li> Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 92, in publish</li> <li> Module ZPublisher.BaseRequest, line 433, in traverse</li> <li> Module Products.mysqlUserFolder.mysqlUserFolder, line 694, in validate</li> <li> Module Products.mysqlUserFolder.mysqlUserFolder, line 354, in __check_connection</li> <li> Module Products.mysqlUserFolder.mysqlUserFolder, line 325, in __connect</li> <li> Module Products.mysqlUserFolder.db, line 169, in connect</li> <li> Module MySQLdb, line 66, in Connect</li> <li> Module MySQLdb.connections, line 134, in __init__</li> </ul>OperationalError: (1129, "Host 'saw2.nidelven-it.no' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'") </p> --> What a strange default behavior MySQL has here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blocked-host.html I suspect the connection between the database and web server dropped for a bit, and now it's blacklisted even if it's back up again. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD

OSXP was the first online job site to have a "PostgreSQL" category, and at one time was working with us on syndicated listings at postgresql.org (something we never completed). Today, there isn't a good reason; we'd be better to list as many job sites we know as have a "PostgreSQL" category. --Josh Berkus

For the time being I have removed the one we had there now since it's broken, and we can always create a more complete list later. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
