You're right. Pgsql isn't my only favorite db solution. I'm running MS SQL 2005 express edition because shavlik will use either access or SQL server for its datastore and I don't trust access at all and never will. Sleepycat is also good for applications that don't need a full rdbms. There are a few more places here and there where I use different db's but I stay away from two if possible: access/jet and mysql.

It can be hard to remove a nut with a hammer without doing damage. Just about every database has its pros and cons. The task at hand should be considered and then matched to the proper tool.... or database. Heck, even text flatfiles have their place.. bdb.. oracle.. A good mechanic understands the right tool for the job and has that tool in their toolbox.... or gets the tool.
