I kinda was afraid about people getting excited about my RDBMS remarks
which really is a subject in itself ;)
I have zero personal experience with Postgresql even though I've read
good things about it so that ruled it out for a project with a very
tight time frame. And I just happen to really, really like Oracle so
unless the application generates some real money, I will probably always
go far Oracle.
