Hi, I am an experienced Oracle DBA and I am now working on building a PostgreSQL database for a project. Part of the lure for this was the no-cost licensing as we'll possibly be putting instances of this new system into many local sites. At this time we are planning to build little logic into the database. I will initially do hot backups on it, and will likely want to create a standby cluster (using WAL logs) for high availability.
I'd like to know your opinions on support for PostgreSQL. 1. Do you think I should purchase commercial support (at least for the initial development and release)? 2. Do you have recommendations on what companies are good and a good value? 3. Opinions on pay-per-incident vs. support agreements (am I likely to have many issues I'll need support on - see my intro)? 4. Any other tips you can give me on having support for this project? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks, Jed S.
