Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results

paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue.

EnterpriseDB Open Source Oracle Wannabe Still Searching Identity

EnterpriseDB does not give the impression of the next open source success story and a $375 million acquisition target

Since its inception a few years ago as the "Oracle-compatible database company" EnterpriseDB is still burning cash with no publicly shared revenue or profitability figures.

Their press release says: "The new product enables OLAP applications to seamlessly leverage clusters of inexpensive commodity servers while appearing as a single database to the applications. Using this capability, enterprises can easily meet complex data warehousing and business intelligence challenges at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions."
