What about PostgreSQL? I'm using mainly MySQL (I started first using
MiniSQL, but MySQL overtake it!) but started to hear a lot about PostgreSQL
benefits (even comparing it to the 'big dogs' like Oracle and DB2...)
Is that an option to somebody out there?
Anyway, I understand the situation: for many managers-like approaches is
easy to pay a big invoice but have something/body to blame if everything
goes wrong... But no risk, no fun! :)
