The claims about "full integration" aren't ones that I can test/verify, so we'll need feedback from the SE-Postgres devson that. Kevin is responding to the other thread on pgsql-advocacy. Once both issues are resolved, we can update thelanguage where appropriate. -selena -- http://chesnok.com @selenamarie

Kevin is responding to the other thread on pgsql-advocacy. Once both issues are resolved, we can update thelanguage where appropriate. Well, for that matter, the statement about SEPostgres was true at the time 9.1 was released (TrustedRUBIX was not released until November 2011), so I'm not sure changing the language on the wiki is even appropriate. If we do change it, then I suggest simply changing the word "only" to "first". Of course, I'm tempted to say "only significant". ;-) -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

I didn't understand very much of it, but I think there's a reason that the word "trusted" is in the name of their product. So I suggest adding "open source". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
