Re: References for PostgreSQL

Hi!

Just one questions:

Our Company is searching for a good SQL-Database, which will be using very
extensivly in the future.
PostgreSQL really looks good (low/no cost/ many features), but do big
companys have this product also on their production servers? Any if yes,
which companys?

Thanks for help,

Christian Lbeck

Ok how about this... our current client list that runs postgresql in
production:

USAID (United States Agency for International Development)
DOL ODEP (Department of Labor, i forget what ODEP stands for)
DOS IAWG (Department of State, Inter-Agency Working Group)
DOL PTFEAD (Dept of Labor's DisabilityDirect.gov)
GSA (General Services Administration)

there are some more in the pipeline, but they're not in production

and yes, these organizations also use Oracle; they just run Oracle for
everything.

The .info gTLD uses PostgreSQL. Do whois afilias.info for an
example.

Hi Christian,

There is a pretty decent "Case Study" of how BASF (the worlds largest
chemical company) is using a PostgreSQL backend-ed solution for their
agribusiness online shopping platform.

http://advocacy.postgresql.org/wcgcasestudyonpostgresqlv1.2.pdf

It's in Acrobat format, and was released a few days ago (thanks to Roger
Moon of the Web Commerce Group).

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
