PostgreSQL has been in my toolbox since 2003 having proved itself as reliable, stable, always free, well tested, and with a vibrant community on IRC. freenode #postgresql The company I built in 2003 is still using PostgreSQL for all of its operating data, web services, APIs, and royalty calculations. Someone once said, and I agree, "PostgreSQL is the answer unless proven otherwise." If you've not tried PostgreSQL I encourage you to give it a whirl, I think you'll like it. I'll also say that #postgresql is really a friendly place for newbies and experts alike.
