PostgreSQL is the first real database server I've ever used. I've not
used Oracle or Sybase or anything like that, so the only thing I can
compare it with is desktop database systems like MS-Access, and all I can
say is that there' s no comparison. :-) I don't want PostgreSQL to be
like Access, nor anything else for that matter, but just be what it is.
