I remember maybe circa 2004 debating Postgres and mysql with a colleague. I told him to unplug the machine that was hosting his mysql instance. He did and corrupted his database. He said it didn't matter, he had backups, speed was more important :p This was before mysql had the innodb storage engine, after that it wasn't so bad. I have always stood by Postgres though, it's a fantastic piece of open source software.
