PostgreSql Membership Provider for ASP.NET 2.0

MSSQL 2005 can be nice, but I want to be free to scale/cluster in the future and can't afford $1500 per machine, and that cost goes way up if I need more enterprise capability. Little did I know that one of the open source alternatives, PostgreSql has matured to the point that even if I had the money, I think I would still choose PostgreSql. I love it! It's simple, fast, and just works. Great admin interface and free for commercial use too! Some day I'd like to give back to that project.

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to thank Andri for his ASP.NET Membership Provider for MySQL, and to release my PostgreSQL Provider based on his work. If you use the providers in ASP.NET 2.0 and use MSSQL Express or some other DB, no more excuses - free yourself and migrate to PostgreSQL! You can download the CSharp source files, and database table script here.
