Oracle took this opportunity to make them take a 9 years pledge (or face a price hike to sticker price).<br /><br />2) Salesforce does want to start using Postgres for its cloud or some secret (future) new service, and hasn't planned to migrate its core business to Postgres (at least short- to mid-term). The leverage in negotiation with Oracle is just an added bonus.<br /><br />I have also no inside knowledge, but I think Josh would agree with me that we should give Salesforce the benefit of the doubt (at least for a while) and trust Tom. If Salesforce fund XYZ persons to work on Postgres, that's a good thing, even if they're not migrating their core business to it (yet :P).Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254985975111176827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476449567742726187.post-35461461944608847572013-06-27T11:58:41.063-07:002013-06-27T11:58:41.063-07:00Yep, I have no inside knowledge, and obviously I w...Yep, I have no inside knowledge, and obviously I wouldn't be posting that even if I had it.Bruce Momjianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875088787463864011noreply@blogger.com
