Actually they migrated from 7.2 to DB2 because IBM paid for them to do
it (and also because they were tripping on some deficiency at the time);
but after that contract expired, they migrated back from DB2 to a newer
Postgres. Obviously there wasn't much money invested in making big
press splashes about it, though.

I can't tell if they were using table function support though :-)
