Most of the comments there come from people who haven't the slightest clue about the features of commercial databases.
Best comment on that article: The trouble with most developers is that they've simply never dealt with situations that required the more esoteric features of a commercial DB. The trouble with most developers who have required those esoteric features is that once you've used the death star, everything looks like a planet. But I have to ask the folks on this list (particularly the MySQL and PostgreSQL advocates): would you deposit your money in a bank which uses MySQL or PostgreSQL for their core banking system?
