No, I don't think I agree. It does not need to be "Commercial" as it is similar to Apache Jacarta too. If you are going to do a complex project with PostgreSQL, you sort of have a lot of construction ahead of you. Yea, it is a great SQL engine, but to build a high speed web site, or virtually any complex project, you will need a lot of add-ons. Rather than have everyone duplate the effort of finding the extensions, why not have a project with all this stuff installed. AFAIK, and correct me if I'm wrong, having functions installed doesn't affect performance. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
