In the context of computers (and thus any WEB server), the
word "Power" only reminds me to something measured in Volts
and Amperes. So I just wanted to get rid of it.
I really liked the "PostgreSQL underneath" for the
crocodiles. But that doesn't fit for an elephant.
What about these:
PostgreSQL
in background
PostgreSQL
accelerated
Supported by
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL
driven
Or just without any such wording - why not?
