I spoke with someone before who said that the RBAP members did not spend a lot on IT. So if I interpreted that to mean they have no IT budget when in reality they just don't want to spend, then I apologize. Certainly in your experience the banks you know are making lots of money. That does not extend to the other banks. The number of rural banks which have collapsed in the past year (and mind, it's not just the Legacy banks) seems to indicate that there are a good number of rural banks in trouble. But that's neither here nor there, and has nothing to do with the database they are using. .. >> that wasn't what i had in mind... > > but your orignal challenged to this list who wants to deposit your > money in a bank using postgres or mysql database as their core banking > system? > > the short answer is - who cares? > > even if they used spread sheets.. who cares? as long as i have my > passbook and earn interests.. who cares? I do. Nobody else has answered so I wouldn't know about the rest. > and mind you.. the owner of that bank has lots of chinese depositors > where each depositor deposits in a million pesos range.... Because those depositors have (or think they have) a personal relationship with their banker. That's why even today Celso de los Angeles has a lot of people expressing their support for him, in spite of the fact that his banks have folded. >> besides we shouldn't hold up rural banks as examples... it's that sort >> of shoddy management that resulted in the Legacy scandal. > > there you go again.. another irrelavant topic... even if they go > bankcrupt.. their database is still there... bankcruptcy/scandal of a > small or big bank has nothing to do whatever database they used... but > your money is.... I only brought that up because you mentioned that a lot of rural banks still use Clipper / dBase. My point is that rural banks do not represent the banking system as a whole. -- Orlando Andico +63.2.976.8659 | +63.920.903.0335 _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
