Re: Postgress and MYSQL

We are in the process of porting a logistics application to Postgres from a
Progress Software database. We have about 75 employees and will be putting
Postgres to work in a real time business situation where there are lots of
transactions. Once we are successful in this endeavor, how can we get stories
like that out to people who would care to know? I know this is a small
business project, but will it help to advertise that the "little" guys are in
the trenches doing this kind of thing?
