There is a commercial arm of PostgreSQL (or at least a partner) for businesses that require support. Surf on over to:
http://www.pgsql.com Expect to pay about the same for PostgreSQL support as you would for Oracle. I don't know of any support for DBI other than the Perl DBI mailing list (which, like this list, is excellent!). Traffic is about the same as ORACLE-L. To subscribe to the list, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Better yet, head to http://www.oreilly.com and find the books, then over to http://www.bookpool.com and order 'em. HTH! :) Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech Inc, Sussex, WI USA -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 3:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 1) DBI is a perl module to handle the communication with various databases. 2) Postgres is free. I believe that you can buy commercial support, but I don't know where. May be Rich can jump in with that. 3) DBI is free and so is perl. I'm cheap & easy, but not free.
