Found this quote by Philip Greenspun (who is unabashedly in love with
Oracle) in a LinuxWorld article:
"> The open source purist's only realistic choice for an RDBMS
> is PostgreSQL (see Resources for the URL). In some ways,
> PostgreSQL has more advanced features than any commercial
> RDBMS. Most important, the loosely organized, unpaid
> developers of PostgreSQL were able to convert to an
> Oracle-style multiversion concurrency system (see below),
> leaving all the rest of the commercial competition
> deadlocked in the dust. If you've decided to accept John
> Ousterhout as your personal savior, you'll be delighted
> to learn that you can run Tcl procedures inside the
> PostgreSQL database. And if your business can't live without
> commercial support for your RDBMS, you can buy it
> (see Resources for a link).

Cheers! (the full series of articles, which are about AOLserver, is
available at http://linuxworld.com)
