I just read through all products sections in the PostgreSQL weekly news
from 07-22-07 to 09-30-07. Of products that mention PostgreSQL versus
Postgres in their release title, there is only *one* that mentions
Postgres and that is EnterpriseDB.
All others mention PostgreSQL or neither (such as PgAdmin or PgPool).
PostgreSQL Maestro 7.9 released.
MS Access to PostgreSQL Converter 2.0 released.
Another PostgreSQL Diff Tool 1.0.0_beta26 released.
PostgreSQL Data Wizard 7.8 released.
SE-PostgreSQL 8.2.4-1.0 released.
Entityspaces for PostgreSQL released.
AM Software Design has opened up PostgreSQL Community Forums.
EnterpriseDB Postgres released.
SchemaCrawler 5.1 for PostgreSQL released.
Another PostgreSQL Diff Tool 1.0.0_beta24 released
MicroOLAP Database Designer 1.2.1 for PostgreSQL released.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
