why does it have to be THE BEST ? that is insulting to the other projects
like MySQL which while "competitors" are also a valid and useful benchmark
for features, performance and keeping the postgresql community on its
collective toes.
postgresql is not THE BEST in all applications, so calling it that is inviting
derision and pointless arguments.
i'd go with:
The PostgreSQL community is committed to creating and maintaining a very
reliable, open-source, multi-purpose, standards-based database, and
encouraging participation in open-source usage and development world wide.
