One of the things I very much like about PostgreSQL is that it feels
like more of a programmer's RDBMS than Oracle. As in the needs and
preferences of programmers were obviously given a higher priority in the
design of PostgreSQL. I find this to be a very attractive feature and a
good thing.
This is a case of where a focus on the needs and preferences of hackers
in the development of the software by hackers has worked out pretty
well, at least for me. People say that is a bad thing about a lot of
OSS, but I actually think it was needed in RDBMS software.
