PGDG doesn't really have "customers" in the sense that a unified commercial entity like MySQL AB does. I've been making my living from PostgreSQL almost all of this century, but most of these outfits have never been my "customers." > - Firebird doesn't seems to serve the page on their main site, but > on ibphoenix under the "Firebird Users" name: > > http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&s=1142330367:630751&page=ibp_users_firebird > > note: not on their sourceforge home page, but on the foundation > site, not easy to access.

They're what I recommend when people ask about an embedded SQL system :) How about a prominent link on the front page that says something like, Here are some organizations that use PostgreSQL. I know it's wordy, but it gets the point across that this is a display and not a help desk, blog, doc set...
