Not sure if this is the right list...but: Disclaimer: I realize this is comparing apples to oranges. I'm not trying to start a database flame-war. I just want to say thanks to the PostgreSQL developers who make my life easier. I manage thousands of databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MySQL), and this past weekend we had a massive power surge that knocked out two APC cabinets. Quite a few machines rebooted (and management is taking a new look at the request for newer power cabinets heh). Talking theory is one thing, predicting results is another...and yet the only thing that counts is "what happens when 'worst-case-scenario' becomes reality?" Long story short, every single PostgreSQL machine survived the failure with *zero* data corruption. I had a few issues with SQL Server machines, and virtually every MySQL machine has required data cleanup and table scans and tweaks to get it back to "production" status. I was really impressed...you guys do amazing work.
