in thread Flat File Database

Is POSTGRESQL totally FREE to implement in a large organization? Is it as simple to maintain as ISAM (Flat Files/SDBM)?

Yes and yes. And it has transactions. And replication. And multiple concurrent updates. Why on earth would you not use a database when a database is what you need?

Your capitalisation is incorrect, BTW. It's "PostgreSQL".
