Thanks Lukas and Jim. The OmniTI presentation is great and along the lines
that I'm looking for, presentations that are geared towards a technical
audience working on deploying and adminstering the database. The documents
at /about/casestudies seem more marketing oriented and less useful for
someone who has to roll up his/her sleeves. I purposely did not list
marketing case study material for MySQL because it's not as interesting for
me at the moment. I've added a link to the OmniTI presentation but left off
the marketing oriented brochures and white papers.

On a related topic, does anyone know of any high traffic Web 2.0 sites using
PostgreSQL (with or without presentations)? It seems like most of the high
traffc Web 2.0 sites use MySQL. It would be good to know if PostgreSQL is
deployed in situations with similar load profiles.
