Thought PostGreSql smelled a lot like DB2. And although I agree with their definitions on the surface they miss a lot of the underlying capability in Oracle. Sure, one "database" per instance, but you can them map multiple applications/schema's into that instance. Makes for a lot less fun when one application needs data from another that's in the same instance.
