I did the same a couple of months ago when I chose PostgreSQL for a
web project. Both the database and public perception have improved. For
this, I think we owe you and the many other contributors a debt of
gratitude.

This is an awesome feature which I have been enjoying for years with
InterBase. Not only are multi-user transactions faster, but multi-versioning
paves the way for more powerful utilities such as backups. Writers don't
affect readers. Period.
Thanks to all who have made PostreSQL succeed,
