You are correct that the specific comment about pg not thriving was outside
any quotes. However, given the totality of the references to pg I think it
was a summary of some things Rivot said. As for the point of the square
brackets, those are an editorial device to clarify a quote based on the
omitted context. In other words, for this example they mean that Rivot was
discussing PostgreSQL and that would have been made clear had they provided
a complete transcript.
Of course it is possible that the author misquoted Rivot, or misinterpreted
which database he was referring to.
