> But as Sun enters it new Fiscal Year FY09, and the clear directions from Management has given the right positive goals to the Sun PostgreSQL Team which will lead to Positive Growth, Self Sustaining model and help contribute to the bottom line of Sun.

If I were being sarcastic, I might say that, translated, that's "yes, it's dead at Sun".

PostgreSQL isn't going away anytime soon and with the MySQL acquisition Sun is in an excellent position now to offer the best paid support for both the #1 and #2 open source databases as well as offer some unique product bundles.

However I'm still wondering how they'll ever make back the 500 Million they spent to get MySQL.
