It would be nice if PostgreSQL can access different DataBase. We have a
DataBase where the information is in an inverted formatted - store by
column..
For example, a query(Frequency) to get how many symbol of IBM, EMC, AA
etc... are in the table(16,000,000 records 6G in size). It takes about 3
minutes!

This may be of interest to people looking at PostgreSQL in an Enterprise
setting:

Basically, the replication server made by the commercial PostgreSQL, Inc,
eRServer, is being donated back to the open source PostgreSQL.
