I have noticed the same. One thing you didn't mention is how
postgresql gets into such companies. I highly doubt there is a new
general managerial acceptance of postgresql itself- I haven't had any
of my management mention it from management magazines- rather it
seems to be a grassroots effort by developers who started out using a
free LAMP stack, know the benefits, and then bring that experience to
the workplace.
