At least on the version I just saw there are several results with
Postgres that are weird (table names > 500 chars?). Other things tested
are clearly wrong (things that are = NULL, dates like '00-00-0000');
results for Postgres that are wrong probably because they are trying a
weird syntax. Etc.
Things like that drive the credibility of the whole thing to the floor.
Maybe something like this should exist for Postgres, but it's not
crash-me. Maybe the NIST compliance test is adequate.
