There have already been a lot of great points in favor of PostgreSQL, but I am going to add 1 more:
PostgreSQL has the best documentation of any database product I have worked with.
This is why the documentation stands out:
- It actually teaches you the basics of SQL
- It is easy to understand
- It has good examples
- It is very well organized
- It isn't just a feature list with tech notes
- It is all around, well written
Other vendors should be ashamed of what they try and a pass off as documentation.
