Ned, I just love Postgres... I strongly believe it can compete with major commercial DBMS, and that it rules over free DBMS (be opensource or not, like MySQL). But I think Postgres' performance should not be over-boasted, because such behaviour could only mislead and possibly deceipt future users. As a commercial consulting company, you might consider adding some disclaimers to your benchmarks. Fabrice
