And lack of publication date, what was true in 2010 might not be true in 2015. How do we know which versions he is comparing? Both PostgreSQL and MS SQL make very significant progress every year.

He says upfront that he's comparing PostgreSQL 9.3 and MS SQL Server 2014
Actually he says in the first line of the third paragraph:

> Unless otherwise stated I am referring to PostgreSQL 9.3 and MS SQL Server 2014

Which makes his opinions timeless and gives context. A date on it would be welcome, but just from the software version you can figure out if it applies to you or your scenario.

Thanks, you're right.

I read this months ago, so just went over it very quickly this time, and the first thing I did was to look for a date at the top and bottom.
