Whether or not it's on a storage controller is kind of not that big of a deal, as long as it's reliable. > 2) Which protocol is mostly used in production.

Last place I worked it was our primary database for RT (ticketing system), bugzilla, media wiki, our statistical monitoring db, etc. Our primary lifting db was oracle, not because oracle was better, but because the VC vultures wouldn't sign off on postgresql out of ignorance / prejudice / lack of basic understanding / you name it. > 4) What is the business and technical issues for Postgresql with storage > controller at present stage. Not sure what you're asking here. Right now most postgresql installations are on direct attached storage. The biggest issues affecting any deployment to remote storage are the ones having to do with the OS postgresql is most often deployed on, Linux. Device drivers, iSCSI drivers, things like that. I would think that if you wanted more traction for pgsql (or other dbs) on netapp under linux, you could look at this area. > 5) In which area Postgresql most wanted.
