Hello all ,

I am a OpenSource S/W developer and my clients are from remote part of
Himachal Pradesh India.
I am providing my clients,
software
Build on PostgreSQL 7.3.x as backed
and yes , they (clients) ought to save a lot while using my software as
it runs on Linux

Not in all cases :).Probably you will pay much more for linux support.

But theirs one Prick Our Competitor he is providing solution in what else
FoxPro + Win98
and this competitor justifies his software as Superior because some of
the Indian local banks use this
clumsy set of tool to manage their bureaucratic banking work system.

FoxPro is the MS db solution, but it is not as good as MS SQL.You can compare
pg with MS SQL, but not with FoxPro.
Pg is much better.
I think all depends from how good is your application.
If it is small app. I think FoxPro will also be good.
I think pg is very stable and good db.
For me it is comparable with oracle (not so good, but...).

What I want is some support from this good community to give me some
1. Tips
2. Links
3. Advise
for FoxPro and its limits (As could be told to a layman)

You can visit the FoxPro page and read the limitations.Pls. read about the
transactions, triggers, user defined data types (if you will use it),
rules, views.
All this is important for one db.
or example MS Access do not support very good transactions.

as how to crush my competitor for M$ tools,
Its time to prove The M$ Guys that they have $$$$$ Power and we the GNU
people have a
social perspective of doing work.

Would be greatefull for all your Comments / Bashing and yes Support

Please..........................

To Add More :
My Clients are Agriculture Banks and cannot afford the M$ tools. and yes
all the Win98 installation on their computers are
pirated.

I think you can do nothink for it and it is not your problem.
