13:30 – 14:30 Jan Karremans: OpenVMS and PostgreSQL, the dawn of a new era

Jan Karremans is a database technologist at EDB, working with people and 
organizations to maximize their potential in a data centric world. He is 
a Postgres advocate.

Postgres is gaining more and more momentum as enterprise database on 
OpenVMS. The key benefits are obvious: a high-performing database, 
considerable savings on license fees, and access to a large pool of 
skilled resources.

Either "enterprise database on OpenVMS" means "PostgreSQL client on
OpenVMS accessing PostgreSQL server on Linux" or he believes
PostgreSQL server on VMS will show up.
