Oh, I don't know - this is the same kind of "Hey everybody, PostgreSQL exists and is really neat" article that people have been writing for years. It's only poignant now that some of the MySQL issues have become harder to ignore.

Ha, that's kinda true, I suppose. Sun gave MySQL the kiss of death.

I plug postgres constantly, myself, and I do want to see it get more popular and have a larger community of support (heh, although more users can mean the inverse of supportive community!). I do think it's a superior technology to MySQL, but every tool has its place. Would be good for more people to know the elephant is out there, and all the cool stuff it can do :-)
