My real concern is what instrumentation is available in Postgres.
We've finally gotten good data and tools available to track down
performance issues on Oracle and now...
But thanks for the recommendation! I'm off to Bookpool...

The database might be plumbing but it is the plumbing that runs through
all
the oracle apps. If for no other reason than to make the oracle apps run
better, oracle will continue to advance the database. Also the revenue
from
the database might not be the their greatest source of revenue but it
still
is quite large so I doubt we have to worry anytime soon.

pg 93 in the Oak Table book is really cool read (when was it written?).
During the Oracle Corp pep talk at IOUG I noticed that the db was hardly
mentioned, practically off the radar from the corporate prespective.
They needed to comfort the folks from the newly aquired apps. I'm not
sure it made it into any slides, maybe it did and I blinked.
The db is become plumbing, so we may need to put in PVC where cast iron
has rusted out. OK, not quite there yet, I'm porting to 10g and looking
at MySql.
