Yes, PostgreSQL is a fine DB and there is every good reason to switch :-) It only suffers from two main problems that I can see:
1. It's annoying to create a table with an auto-incremented field (i.e: serial int)
For some reason you have to issue 4 commands... go figure their design decision.
create table foo ( serial bar primary key, ...
What are you talking about?
2. It still lacks a native Win32 port (for those who need it). This is a big one
as it is currently only available for Unix/Linux.
Beta now available: http://www.postgresql.org/news/216.html
Luckily it handles UNICODE and other encodings really well out of the box,
as opposed to MySQL :-)
