POSTGRESQL and this book
would not be possible without the talented and hard-working members of the POSTGRESQL
Global Development Team. They took source code that could have become just another
abandoned project and transformed it into the open source alternative to commercial
database systems. POSTGRESQL is a shining example of Internet software
development.
- Fournier, Marc G., in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada, coordinates the entire
effort, provides the server, and administers the primary Web site, mailing lists,
ftp site, and source code repository.
- Lane, Tom, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, is often seen
working on the planner/optimizer, but has left his fingerprints in many places.
He specializes in bug fixes and performance improvements.
- Lockhart, Thomas G., in Pasadena, California, United States, works
on documentation, data types (particularly date/time and geometric objects),
and SQL standards compatibility.
- Mikheev, Vadim B., in San Francisco, California, United States, does
large projects, like vacuum, subselects, triggers, and multi-version concurrency
control (MVCC).
- Momjian, Bruce, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, maintains
FAQ and TODO lists, code cleanup, patch application, training
materials, and some coding.
- Wieck, Jan, near Hamburg, Germany, overhauled the query rewrite rule system,
wrote our procedural languages PL/PGSQL and PL/TCL,
and added the NUMERIC type.
- Cain, D'Arcy, J. M., in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, worked on the TCL
interface, PyGreSQL, and the INET type.
- Dal Zotto, Massimo, near Trento, Italy, created locking code and other improvements.
- Eisentraut, Peter, in Uppsala, Sweden, has added many features, including an
overhaul of psql.
- Elphick, Oliver, in Newport, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, maintains the POSTGRESQL
package for Debian Linux.
- Horak, Daniel, near Pilzen, Czech Republic, did the WinNT port of POSTGRESQL
(using the Cygwin environment).

- Ishii, Tatsuo, in Zushi, Kanagawa, Japan, handles multibyte foreign language
support and porting issues.
- Martin, Dr. Andrew C. R., in London, United Kingdom, created the ECPG
interface and helped in the Linux and Irix FAQs including some patches
to the POSTGRESQL code.
- Mergl, Edmund, in Stuttgart, Germany, created and maintains pgsql_perl5. He
also created DBD-Pg, which is available via CPAN.
- Meskes, Michael, in Dusseldorf, Germany, handles multibyte foreign language
support and maintains ECPG.
- Mount, Peter, in Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom, created the Java JDBC
interface.
- Nikolaidis, Byron, in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, rewrote and
maintains the ODBC interface for Windows.
- Owen, Lamar, in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, United States, maintains
the RPM package.
- Teodorescu, Constantin, in Braila, Romania, created the PGACCESS interface.
