I bet that some kind of new products running on PostgreSQL instead of ORA-600 will show up in some months. Something like Salesforce Light Version for low and medium range companies :-) I also agree with Magnus when he states about the various angles of a deal like that. A 9 year contract, ok, but what does it covers really? What I'll remind about all that story is that PostgreSQL has been presented to the world as the real ORA-600 opponent, if not the only one today. That's a kind of recognition our project deserves :) Cheers, > > > > http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1964798 > > > > The press release specifically mentions Oracle Database. > > > > Of course, there might be some other conclusion, logical or illogical, > > but I can't think of one. > > > > > -- > Command Prompt, Inc. - http://www.commandprompt.com/ 509-416-6579 > PostgreSQL Support, Training, Professional Services and Development > High Availability, Oracle Conversion, Postgres-XC, @cmdpromptinc > For my dreams of your image that blossoms > a rose in the deeps of my heart. - W.B.
