PgSQL more and more looks like the "redis of databases". Whatever the problem, you can almost always find a good reason to use it :) You get great performance for the simple "dumb" use case (relational data in DB term, key/value store in redis case), and lots of awesome additional feature on top of it for more complex situations. I love it.

> the "redis of databases" That's like calling Swift "the Ruby of programming languages".

> "redis of databases". That's like saying <good truck> is a "Prius of 8 wheelers". That's really weird comparison. Especially that PostgreSQL is more of a database than redis is.

Maybe you meant the swiss knife of databases.
