With some apologies fpr a third mail on the same day I would like to
suggest
postgresql port on VMS if it is not already there.

Going into some background DEC has it's Rdb and both Ingres and Oracle ran
on VMS with VMS initially being the platform of choice at a high expense.

The sudden dot com boom, intel platforms,low end hp and sun servers all lead
to speedy move to Unix.

But I believe Ingres and PostgreSql have lot of commonality probably
there migth be some advantages in runing it on VMS architecture.
If porting was to be attempted I could spend whole lot of time on doing the
builds
and testing it on VMS.

Noawadays probbaly VMS might be closer to Unix in pricing than it was in
the olden days.

I hope this could be reviewed and someone could let me know if I
could join the efforts in anyway.

Sincerely,
Pkv Raju ( Vish Penmetsa)
