Well, yeah-no. Mammoth was coming from someone who was explicitly in
the business of selling support for it, and was selling to people who
already had picked PostgreSQL. But the OP was suggesting this was a
way around the "We don't use nuttin' but O-ra-cle 'round here" crowd;
and I don't see how "Magic Blackbox Database" is somehow better than
"Postgres" to those people.
