Sometimes I wonder... if three fortune 500 companies just spent the same amount as their Oracle budget on Postgres devs, they could probably have a RAC competitor in three years.

Then, just another billion on transition costs, right? :)




I agree, there is no technical reasons that postgres could not be as easy or as good at scaling as Oracle. Someone just has to put the money and effort in.
