-"The built-in replication features in 9.0 and ability to query a hot standby have been the most requested PostgreSQL features for many years," said Simon Riggs, CTO of 2ndQuadrant. "Efficient, low latency streaming replication protects your data better, while hot standby significantly reduces total cost of ownership. In proprietary products, this capability is an add-on costing thousands of dollars."

<h3>Afilias</h3>

-"As one of the world's largest operators of core Internet infrastructure registries, Afilias is pleased to see PostgreSQL 9.0 add In-Place upgrades, which allow us to upgrade to new versions of the database system with minimal disruption to our 16 million strong domain name database. In addition, we look forward to using the Hot Standby and Streaming Replication features, which supplement the robust replication already existing via Slony. These kinds of feature additions continue to make a strong case for why mission-critical technology tasks can continue to depend on the power, flexibility and robustness of PostgreSQL," said Afilias CTO Ram Mohan.

<h3>Openbravo</h3>
<p>
-"Openbravo has been an enthusiastic user of PostgreSQL. We embed PostgreSQL in our Cloud Appliances and we rely on PostgreSQL in our Ubuntu packages. While the product supports multiple databases, 93% of Openbravo deployments are on PostgreSQL. Every new release of PostgreSQL has delivered increased reliability and performance and we expect 9.0 to continue in that tradition. We are very excited about the new features coming with PostgreSQL. In particular, we look forward to the deferrable unique constraints as an opportunity to speed up updates and upgrades for our customers. The new built in, binary, log based replication will appeal to our larger users looking for redundancy and high availability. Finally, all of our development are looking for the new VACUUM FULL command. We have already done some preliminary testing based on PostgreSQL 9.0 and we have not found any significant issue. We detected some minor incompatibilities but we expect their resolution to be trivial. Openbravo intends to start supporting PostgreSQL 9.0 as soon as it becomes production and to start adopting it as the default deployment option as soon as it is supported in the major Linux distributions," said Paolo Juvara, CTO, OpenBravo.
