I wrote some stuff related to this with respect to whether and which Open Source database to choose for your enterprise (incl. Firebird, Ingres, MaxDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL). The english version is part of my CS thesis "Migration to Open Source Databases" (Oct 2005): http://www.osdbmigration.org/misc/migrating_OSDB_jh.pdf (Part 2, covering features, data warehouse capabilities and performance). I published a more up-to-date version in the German Open Source Yearbook (early 2006) - but only in german: Freie Datenbanken im Unternehmenseinsatz (Enterprise-ready Open Source databases) http://www.opensourcejahrbuch.de/2006/pdfs/osjb2006-04-04-horstmann.pdf Regards, Jutta -- ____________________________________________________ Jutta Horstmann IT consultant data in transit email: jh@dataintransit.com Zehdenicker Str. 25 fon: +49.30.40526719 10119 Berlin mob: +49.176.61188960 Germany web: www.dataintransit.com ____________________________________________________
Hello,
Gavin Sherry and I worked on a white paper presenting the 'Business case for PostgreSQL' in the past but for various reasons we haven't quite finished it.
In reading the thread from some weeks ago (initiated by Michael Dean on the 15th of June) regarding suitable white papers promoting PostgreSQL, we decided to see if our document could become something of broader interest to the community. With Gavin's assistance we have pulled out specific Fujitsu marketing material from it and checked it into the press project on pgfoundry. However, from Fujitsu's perspective, we would like to retain credit as being the originators of the document
You can read it here: http://cvs.pgfoundry.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/press/pr/whitepapers/business_case/whitepaper.tex?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain
The document is made for white paper readers -- managers -- so is lighter on technical detail and more focussed on issues we think this audience is interested in.
Obviously, it still needs work, in particular, some graphical representation of the concepts, improved layout and more detail on success stories people have had with PostgreSQL.
If you're interested in working on it, email myself or Gavin off list and we can coordinate it.
Our goal would be that people throughout the community could use the document to persuade a more business-focussed audience of the advantages of opting to use PostgreSQL.
All feedback, negative or positive, welcome.
Regards,
Liam O'Duibhir

Not to be too much of a whiner but has anyone reformatted this to have less of TeX/LaTeX look ( narrower margins mostly ) and possibly got it into a pdf format. Too many years away from TeX/LaTeX ( though I love them ) to do it easily myself.
