Well if not their code, then certainly their documentation. You pretty
much have to purchase a book to do anything.

But I'd hope we're past the stage of comparing ourselves with MySQL or
Firebird. Instead we should focus on what makes us attractive to Oracle,
DB2 or SQL Server shops.

When working on some databases, especially SQL Server, I always get so
frustrated with how difficult everything is. So maybe a slogan like:
PostgreSQL - Enjoy your database again
PostgreSQL - The database you'll love
PostgreSQL - Setting the standard for following the standard

Obviously the hit on Oracle is the cost, management and intrusiveness.
Because transaction processing need not involve your credit card
PostgreSQL - Because your database shouldn't manage you
PostgreSQL - Power without a 6 figure baby sitter

And if we really need to poke at MySQL then:
PostgreSQL - Licensed to kill

Ok, well all of my suggestions suck. But you get the point.
