There are two different kinds of support: One is the support for
code/fixes. This is probably better in OSS. But there is also the
support for a product. And here is still a big gap. Many oracle, db2,
mssql, etc. consultants are available but only few OSS
consultants/companies which are able to help in case of problems.
They made a survey here in CH under top managers. And this is the answer
they gave: They do not know where to get support. E.g. there is no
company called PostgreSQL (Switzerland) Ltd.
