Sun finally does something worthwhile in the database space!

On November 17, 2005, I was astonished to find that Sun Microsystems is backing one of my favourite databases, PostgreSQL .
Sun announced that they are going to help tweak up the database to work with Solaris and for other “high-end” capabilities (whatever that means, but atleast they are starting to support it). Executives also said:
When it updates Solaris 10 next year, Sun will bundle PostgreSQL with its operating system. The pricing for database support will be included in the cost of the Solaris contract, executives said.
Good job!
