I tried postgress in 1995-96. I was tiered of mSQL [M-SQL not MySQL] and really wanted a free SQL server to work at backend of our web apps. Downloaded, compiled and installed what was then called postgress95 on our linux server. And then I could connect to it from localhost using the command prompt. But the instant I connected with it from a remote machine over TCP/IP the server crashed! I really wanted to make it work, couldn't. Note that Internet was still very new and support availability wasn't as wide as today.
Discovered and started using mySQL which was then way better than mSQL, And still using it after 15 years.
