Even if you find one supporting all the same SQL syntax that you are
using, another database implementation could, in some rare
circumstances, return slightly different data for the same query. In
particular odd situations like this arise around nulls. Conceivably this
could happen between versions of PostgreSQL and running such unit tests
to test your code's expectations against a real database guards against
this possibility.
