Sean,
> Alright, then off the record, what'd they say? -sc
An employee at one Federal Reserve Bank was very enthusiastic about the new
TSearch features. However, he does not speak for that FSB or even for his
department, so we can't really use the quote.
Bummer :-(
This is a continuous problem with getting quotes for PostgreSQL. Lots of
large corporations and gov't agencies use it, but nobody wants to hassle with
their legal department in order to get clearance for a quote.
Mind you, this isn't just us ... proprietary software companies run into the
same thing. Unlike us, though, they can offer discounts or free services in
exchange for quotability.
Suggestions, anyone?
