good solid technical reasons, to why to use PostgreSQL over using
Microsoft SQL Server. Right now, we are using PostgreSQL for a back-end
for some of our web stuff. A couple of our developers, which are
Microsoft VB developers, are complaining about not being able to use
proprietary MS stuff with PostgreSQL. I have told them to use standard
SQL92 compliant programming techniques, and all will work just fine.
They just don't seem to understand why a person wouldn't use SQL
Server. If I could put together a list of good solid technical
arguments, (Performance, Support, Reliability, ETC.), as to why
PostgreSQL is better, I think I can make a good case in keeping
PostreSQL. I just don't have any SQL Server experience to compare
with. If any of you, who have SQL Server experience could send me good
technical comparisons of SQL Server vs PostgreSQL, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Hi!
I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in seeing your opinion
regarding Oracle vs. pg and Sybase vs. pg. (But please not another mysql
flamewar here :-)
