In addition to advisory duties, these core members have contributed to the rigorous analysis and design of new commercial enhancements to enable PostgreSQL, Inc. to launch several enhancements and new products over the coming months. This announcement also confirms that development has started on our Enterprise Replication Server (eR Server), with initial trials targeted for October, 2000."

Fournier explains, "this restructuring ensures that we can provide the highest level of expertise to all our support clients and development partners. Those commercial activities will continue our funding of several new and critical business capabilities of the PostgreSQL open-source Object Relational Database Management System, including a WinNT version."

Fournier advises, "we are also well along in our negotiations with other companies and individuals interested both investing in and joining the PostgreSQL, Inc. team.
