Обсуждение: Just wanted to say thanks for a great tool
My department at the University of Illinois has been using PostgreSQL for seven years. We generate around 2 to 4 million pages of dynamic web content each month through a single PostgreSQL database. Two weeks ago we upgraded from PostgreSQL 8.2 to 8.4. It is running great. As a software architect I know that many times you only hear about the issues or complaints people have. I just wanted to let you know that your team is doing a great job.
Thanks again for making PostgreSQL such a wonderful product.

I also would like to thank the PostgreSQL developers. I've been using it for the last 3 years as the database for a vehicle tracking system. It never fails, its easy to use, and its efficient. I'm also using it for my open source project "The Karoo Project" as the database.

Me too. we have been using PostreSQL for three years now in the demography department at UC Berkeley. It is great. My specs from my academic boss were roughly "Put all conceivable demographic data from any source into this data base" -- which lead to an ingeniously complex schema which could not have been implemented five or ten years ago. Postgres has the power to handle it. But we did have one database crash during those three years. Mary Brian Modra wrote: > I also would like to thank the PostgreSQL developers.

So if you have a success-story, consider contributing for the benefit of the project as a case-study, success-story, etc. For ideas/examples, see: http://www.postgresql.org/about/casestudies/ http://www.postgresql.org/about/users http://www.postgresql.org/about/quotesarchive Some of those pages have either a contact or submit-story link. There is also a separate "advocacy" mailing list. Cheers, Steve Mary Anderson wrote: > Me too. we have been using PostreSQL for three years now in the > demography department at UC Berkeley.

Please excuse me if my posting is off-topic, but this is at least closely related to this email thread.

I looked at those lists, but it seems you need to be "someone" to get your quote or comment included, which would not allow me to post anything, as a small company. I have created an open source project that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and I think this qualifies as a "case study", or as "supporting PostgreSQL", more concrete than writing an email of thanks. But I am thankful, and also I'd like to put something back, in the form of my oopen source, which I'd like to advertise somehow to the PostgreSQL users. I joined the psql-announce list, and tried to email them, but my posting got filtered out and discarded. I emailed the owner, but got no reply. How do I advertise my project which uses PostgreSQL ? > > Cheers, > Steve > > Mary Anderson wrote: >> >> Me too. we have been using PostreSQL for three years now in the >> demography department at UC Berkeley.
