True, but that is also exactly my point. Wether they get ACID behaviour
depends on their platform, version and whatnot (phmyadmin for example
doesn't always play nice)
In PostgreSQL it doesn't matter where you develop or install, nor what
tool you use. Every CREATE TABLE will result in an ACID compliant table.
That sounds like a bonus to me :)
