RE: some interesting news from the linux arena



you guys missed my meaning. i didn't say that postgre development will stop. no open source project can
be stopped merely because the company who mainly developed it did.
I was suggesting that a database that is supposed to be an alternative to oracle, cannot be successful unless
it has a large company to support and provide quick updates, which can only occur if you have a paid development team and a large support department :).

PostgreSQL is not dead merely because Great Bridge is out of business.
Not that I'm all too happy about it, but they refused both a Red Hat
offer to buy them AND a Red Hat offer to outsource RHDB (pronounced 
"PostgreSQL") support to them. Maybe they just didn't have a good
enough management?
