I remember when it caught my eye as Postgres95 and I've always preferred it, even in the face of the huge surge for MySQL which left PostgreSQL looking like an also-ran for quite while.

The reality is it is one of the most amazing open source projects I know - enough to rival Linux itself for me.

These little snippets of PostgreSQL features and facilities which keep being posted give just a tiny hint of the truly enterprise grade features and facilities it has - I just wish I still had as much time to keep on top of it as I once did but I still keep it as my go-to database for project development. I've even dropped it in to replace full blown Oracle systems for serious cost savings.

The developers should be receiving far more kudos than they do.
