Thanks to Fujitsu you have a bigger company supporting
PostgreSQL than Oracle.
I believe if you want a > $40 Billion revenue company
supporting your database, your only choices are SQL
Server, DB2, and PostgreSQL (Fujitsu's 4.8 billion yen
revenue is about 40 billion/yr makes it the world's third
largest IT services provider).
With such alternatives, you wouldn't want to trust your
business to a database only supported by a small company
like Oracle ($15B/yr), would you?
