Sumitomo Electric Co., Ltd., a 20 billion dollars selling company in
Japan (parent company of Sumitomo Electric Information Systems Co.,
Ltd., which is one of the Recursive SQL development support company)
uses 100 PostgreSQL servers. They are doing backups by using log
shipping to another data center and have problems with the amount of
the transferring log data. They said this is one of the big problems
they have with PostgreSQL and hope it will be solved in the near
future.
