true, but when cost is the decisive factor w/ a startup, go with the one of the
freebies. if the company was too cheap to buy the right product, time to find a
company w/ deeper pockets. now w/ ibm buying informix, merging w/ db2, they will have
a new product called db4mix :). the free db's
So isn't PostGres, but neither is a close competitor.

Patrice,
I just read that from IBM's WEB site
(http://www.ibm.com/news/2001/04/24.phtml) for those interested. Looks like the
DB market in the near future will be Oracle & DB2, with a little SQL*Server
sprinkled in for spice. My retirement fund may get better, but will I be able
to survive
