	June 14, 2006 PostgreSQL Leads In Open Source Databases The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q2 2006 by Noel Yuhanna with Mike Gilpin, Megan Daniels

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

PostgreSQL is a Leader in the open source database category, with good support for online transaction processing (OLTP) and data warehouse applications. It offers comprehensive support for transactions, programmability, data types and interfaces, security, and platforms, but it lags in embedded database support, high-availability features, and distributed queries. Last year, PostgreSQL got a boost when FUJITSU, Pervasive Software, and Sun Microsystems announced 24x7 technical support and services to the PostgreSQL community. In addition, new vendors joined the race to extend PostgreSQL functionality, including EnterpriseDB and GreenPlum. PostgreSQL is best suited for customers that want comprehensive DBMS features for transactional and data warehousing applications, or those that are looking for advanced database security features.
