RICHMOND, IN – PostgreSQL.org, the website headquarters for the open source PostgreSQL database software project, has posted an interview with Summersault developer Mark Stosberg. The interview focuses on Summersault’s choice of PostgreSQL software in its work on the 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com project, which was launched in September 2004 (see related press release).
The interviewer, Robert Treat, writes, “[a]fter his excited post to the PostgreSQL Advocacy mailing list describing the recent relaunch of the 1-800-Save-A-Pet web site, replacing it's aging Oracle based solution with a more up to date PostgreSQL solution, we knew we had to talk with Mark Stosberg of Summersault, LLC.”
In the interview, Stosberg discusses the factors affecting the initial decision to use PostgreSQL over other relational database management systems, as well as some of the specific technical reasons that Summersault prefers it for its particular brand of web-based application development.
