Re: [NOVICE] Re: [GENERAL] Re: Is PostgreSQL ready for mission criticalapplications?

You for everybodies information. I'm a relative new user of PostgreSQL.
I've only used the 6.5.3 version, and I've only been using it for about
2 weeks. In that time I have converted all of our legacy data (60+ GB)
divided over 8 databases and several hundred tables to PostgreSQL.

Our users have been using the migrated data for a week now, and I
must say I'm very happy. PostgreSQL has consistantly processed
1,200,000 hits /day. We vacume the databases every night, and
PostgreSQL has yet to fail on me once.

Queries range from simple selects, to more complex queries with group,
having, and sub selects.

I am did have some problems with the more complex datatypes, and
I did have to program around a bug in the Operating System. But that
is due to the fact that I'm bound to SCO Open Server 5.0.5.
