Why is it that you completely ignore PostgreSQL in this blog?
@Peter
Pythian doesn’t support PostgreSQL, so we tend not to read blogs about it. We can only highlight blog posts that we actually read.
PostgreSQL is a fine database, we have nothing against it, its just out of scope for us. We don’t cover DB2 and MongoDB either.
