Hi Jay


Yep - right on the money. It would cost us money/time to develop a
postgres installer that I could give back to the postgres community.
Which would be generous thing to do and it may be a great
advertisement for RS. However, for us at least, we need to focus our
efforts on our app and let the back end database take care of itself.


I made a mistake on the figure. 200 clients by $500 gives you a budget
of $100,000 USD,
about 1650 hours @ 60 per hour,  to build an installer for postgres. I
estimate it would take no longer than 160 hours to produce, and a
postgres installer would likely be produced within 40 hours.

While Real SQL Server is a good choice, Postgres has a much higher
return on investment in the long term.
