]- re: to myself... In fact I was using postgres in the past afaik 6.x versions or so (no outer joins, rule system was still not fully working ... it was good on paper was good but, ... now glad it has advanced so much :")).. then i got using Inter Base(FireBird). (really cool db :") ) From what I see 7.x series has made huge step forward.. probably now surpacing firebird on features side.. (they had hard time adapting Interbase code) (no flame pls!)
Firebird is the only viable open-source alternative to PG that I can think of (which has been a viable project for any length of time).
AFAIK firebird(interbase) and postgres are the only DB with multiversioning engines, is that true ?
I think Oracle has its version.
