Is the Windows port on par with the *nix version, and with those other
alternatives? Apart from the fact that, unlike MySQL, PostgreSQL doesn't
require buying a license when developping commercial applications, are
there technical reasons why I should choose PostgreSQL instead of MySQL
or Firebird?
The documentation for Postgres is far better than the one for Firebird. Due to licensing issues, the Firebird project cannot publish a full set of documentation that covers all versions. They have to rebuild the docs from scratch which is happening very slowly. So when looking for specific feature you need to search several documentation sets which I find very unpleasant.
I also have the impression that there is a lot more momentum to the Postgres project than to Firebird.
