No problem. Please be assured that I have no desire to make it appear that EnterpriseDB is the only PostgreSQL company out there. I've been using PostgreSQL for far longer than I have been with EnterpriseDB, far longer than EnterpriseDB has existed, and given that we don't live in an era of lifetime employment and still have many years of work ahead of me, it's likely that I will work for lots of other companies before I retire where I will probably also use (and hopefully continue to hack on) PostgreSQL. Of course, for so long as I am working here, I will be putting my efforts toward making the company as successful as I can, which I think is what we all do for whoever is paying us at the moment. I really like working in an open community that spans multiple companies, because no company I have ever worked for has had nearly as many smart people as the PostgreSQL community does, and no software project that I have ever worked on has been as enjoyable for me as PostgreSQL is. I guess it's natural that there will be some tension since we are all competitors in some sense, but hopefully friendly ones. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
