I disagree with the supply demand argument. I just went through a 100+ hour evaluation of 4 database products for selection in an enterprise environment. Approx 200 databases for a total of 11+GB of data with 4,500 users accross 110 departments. A substantial undertaking. One of the criteria was "Can our DBA team get formal training/certification to support the selected product in our environment?" Without this, the organization is reluctant to even consider rolling PostgreSQL our in a production environment, regardless of who thinks it's good, how much it costs or any other technical reason. The IT staff never gets an oportunity to showcase PostgreSQL because it is never put into production. If it's never in production, there is never a job oportunity, and without the job oportunity, the PostgreSQL community never create training/certification. This is an endless circle. Evan Rempel.
