I could not find any valid technical information on that site that would
give details about what version of PostgreSQL they are based on etc.
And if they have anything more recent than postgres-r.org, their
product doesn't appear to be open source, since I couldn't find
anything to download there.

In fact their entire site reads to me just like the usual
salespromotionspeak nonsense written for pointy-haired morons.

Excuse me, but I can't take those people really serious.

If Bettina Kemme is working with them, she should at least make sure to
get them a reasonably useful WWW site.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
