I'll repeat my comment from the last time this was posted: The last time this article came up the consensus was that the author was pretty biased towards Postgres and had little to no experience with actual MS SQL Server use. Also, the lack of author identity was frowned upon. Lastly, the conjecture and attitude towards Microsoft lacks some substance. Conclusion: The author is free to write whatever he likes, but take this resource with a pinch of salt. I use both Postgres and MS SQL Server professionally and whilst philosophically I prefer Postgres, for practical reasons I truly prefer MS SQL Server, if only because of its excellent development tools.

What - other than fanaticism - would motivate an individual to register the domain name etc to put this up? I've been doing databases professionally for 20+ years. I've used all of the big names apart from DB2, just never encountered it. Whether it's SQLite, PG, MariaDB, SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, Oracle, there's a right tool for the job. Also a "data analyst" who never encounters a situation where parallel query will help is a person who works on very small datasets on a single disk or maybe a small RAID5 array.
