Have an upvote, I'm not sure why you're being down-voted.

If you take the issues of open-source and licensing out of the equation (both important issues in their own right, but not related to the point at hand) then Oracle and SQL Server are both ridiculously good.

I personally try to avoid them (due to the cost, and the lock-in) but they are astoundingly performant and featureful RDBMSs with a huge amount of support and documentation behind them.

Thanks for the upvote.

I guess some took it personally, although I mentioned I do like Postgres.

I just happen to like the other ones even more, since I was lucky to be able to use them in a few projects.

Downvotes originate from open source fanatics. Odd it results in downvotes though; my first thought is also a fairly retaliatory "commercial offerings, why?!", but I'd never downvote for it. tips hat
