It appears the mood is changing out there in database world and not just slashdot:

I don't think I've ever seen this much positive feeling about postgres.
Maybe it's the industry getting tired of Oracle, maybe it's NOSQL letting down one too many people.
Somebody wrote that a lot of new users were discovering postgres, looks like there's something to it.
