Yep, that's them. This is a big win from a PostgreSQL advocacy position,
especially since oracle pr made an official statement against the use of
PostgreSQL. Has this info hit any of the linux oriented news sites
(linux-today, slashdot, etc...) If not someone from the PostgreSQL
marketing dept. (wink wink) should come up with a press release.

It's on Slashdot, but there's only one post there that mentions the use of 
Postgresql.

I have submitted a story to LinuxToday.  We'll see how that goes.  Anyone want 
to take on Slashdot? :-)

Yes, this is a huge win, and something for our advocacy site, and for
the main PostgreSQL page too.  Vince?

Don't worry about Oracle, they don't need real customers. Their database 
market consists of a healthy balance of real and fictitious people. See
