Hi, I just want you guys to know how great PostgreSQL really is.

At www.dmn.com, we use PostgreSQL and Oracle. The original plan called for
Oracle, but over time systems have been scaled, and to do the scaling, we use
PostgreSQL on Linux.

We have a music information system, using a commercial database data and public
music information, we handle a couple million queries a day. In addition, this
system, using custom code and Postgres on two load balanced machines, can
identify 200 different pieces of music a second and still handle the sites
needs.

We have a recommendations system which is based on PostgreSQL.

Our back end administration system is PostgreSQL.

If you get a chance to hop over to http://www.dmn.com, and see a real slick
website irrevocably tied to PostgreSQL. In over a year of using PostgreSQL on
this site, we have never had a live database failure. 

If we had used Oracle to accomplish what we have done with PostgreSQL, we would
have been out of business trying to pay Oracle licenses. Just thought all you
people who work long and hard on PostgreSQL would like to hear about a real
live site that has made a real commitment to PostgreSQL, and thanks for your
efforts.
