PostgreSQL is one of the last things I'd describe as sexy in any way, shape, or form. It's utterly, uncompromisingly utilitarian.

  Which does make it sexy for those of us who prefer quality to glossy hype.

  I dunno about you, but that's exactly what gets me excited in a database product.

    Seriously. Databases should be as reliable as a rock. At my first startup, I quickly ran afoul of MySQL's silent string truncation behavior as well as its silent invalid dates = 0 error. Wait, my database is tossing out my data? If my head could have spun around, it would. In no universe should silent truncation ever have been a default behavior. I've avoided MySQL ever since.
