Neil,
SAP and PostgreSQL are not an option.
Compared to the costs of a SAP system the costs for the database (even
Oracle) are ridiculous.
As far as I know only 6% of the costs caused by a SAP system are related
to the database.
I don't think that anybody would risk using a database which is not
supported by SAP.
Most likely we will never be taken into consideration by SAP.
By the way: Not even SAP DB (which is a bad thing) has been used
seriously by SAP.
Cheers,
Hans
