PostgreSQL Team,
I have a large OEM customer (one of the top 8 for Sun worldwide)
that is considering embedding PostgreSQL into the core of their
primary product instead of Informix. He is trying to build his
case for this change. Do we have anything that I can forward to
him (something like the presentation you did at CEC?) to help him
build his case?
This is an urgent request from my customer given that his timeline
is relatively short. Any help you can give me will be very
appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad Hendren
Original question:
Have you seen any studies (either by Sun or others) that compares
PostgresSQL to other commercial database software (Informix,
Oracle, Sybase,etc.)? I am interested seeing a feature by feature
comparison of PostgresSQL and Informix.
You should speak with Josh Berkus (http://www.ittoolbox.com/profiles/
josh_berkus) and Jignesh Shah (http://blogs.sun.com/jkshah/), both
also work for Sun. Josh has been a core Postgres team member for
years now and heads up the community relations stuff and Jignesh has
been heading up lots of Postgres benchmarking on Solaris.
