Hi We are using PostgreSQL for an extranet project. About one hundred small firms will have a Linux server, and their own intranet (Apache, PostgreSQL, Perl CGI using DBI). On a once a day basis, each linux box connects to a central server (same config) and makes an update. The update is triple: - Update the data: get what is new, send what has changed - Update the CGI programs theirselves - Possibly, get a patch and apply it so to update the structure of tables. PostgreSQL is a nice tool to do this, as we can schedule the ~100 updates/day. Our small businesses don't need ultra-tuned and fastest database, and could not afford them anyway. But we enjoy Postgres' handling transactions so well. We vacuum everything every day, and like Pg a lot. Thanks to the developing community. Go and use it with no fear!
