     @giacomo It has an edge over Postgres in some aspects I believe, especially for very large databases. Personally, I'm a major Postgres fan.

     @artagnon Yeah, when you need #Oracle, you need Oracle. Butt 99+% of Oracle customers don't need Oracle.

     @artagnon And could hire a full-time #postgresql admin with the money they save.

     @giacomo There is a myth on computers that is "the bigger, slower and more complex a program is, the more suitable for professional use".
