 | Hi all,
As announced last week, I was already contacted about the upcoming
release. The journalist didn't want to wait because he was going to
publish this weekend. It's now done. It's in French, but here is for
the record:
http://www.itrmanager.com/article.php?oid=34636
It's pretty nice since it the title says that the article is about Open
Source DBMS, but the article has about 8 paragraphs about PostgreSQL
and only 3 about MySQL 5 :-) In particular, the journalist kept my
remarks about the more restrictive license used by MySQL.
Now the journalist had a question I wasn't able to answer and I think
would be a nice addition to the press FAQ collected by Josh: what large
(i.e. reknowned) applications support PostgreSQL in fields such as ERP,
CRM, CMS, etc.? And the journalist didn't mean more Open Source stuff,
but commercial applications. I suppose he was looking for signs of
respectability...
By the way, what is it exactly that Hyperic's software does? I coulnd't
get past the marketese stuff on their web site (please, Hyperic guys on
the list, don't take offence).
Cheers

No doubt about it, a very pro-postgresql article :-)

Well, OpenMFG (www.openmfg.com) was built on PostgreSQL. So was Hyperic.
Pretty much everything else is a custom application for some company; our
inclusion in large, proprietary software is still a ways off, except maybe in
Japan.

Hyperic is a modernized, more economical alternative to Tivoli and other
enterprise server room management utilities. It lets you track multiple
statistics and events for multiple servers running a half-dozen different
operating systems through a web interface.
