Hi Karsten, > You may be mistaking the community version for any of the commercially supported offerings ? It is possible. Please fill in the figures. What I am suggesting is that even for community version there should be a charge. But as I mentioned it is not just prices. May be I wasn't very clear the most important factor is the business structure then quality of products and marketing together with pricing. As a further example consider how a very small company like ARM beat giants like Intel and Samsung in the mobile phone industry. It is their business model that is not profitable for Intel and Samsung to emulate. *Of course they have a great products. Equally importantly their business model makes it realistic and profitable for other companies to use their services. * I am only providing some food for thought. For me we can all learn from other people's successes and failures. I for one think everyone on the team have done a great job bringing postgresql to this stage.
