Motivations for PostgreSQL

From
"Aaron Bono"
Date:
I have a customer who is beginning to give more attention to the applications we host for them.  They recently asked
whatdatabase we use and I told them PostgreSQL.  They had never heard of it and really like Micro$oft SQL Server.  I
explainedto them the added cost and how PostgreSQL is a solid database but I need more to convince them. <br /><br
/>Whatare some good resources online that discuss PostgreSQL and how it compares to the "more popular" databases? 
Whileit really should be none of my customers' business what database I use (I am an application service provider),
theystill make a big deal out of it. <br /><br />Thanks!<br clear="all" /><br />-- <br

This is a perennial discussion point on the pgsql-general mailing list, 
and should really be posted either there or on -advocacy. Have a trawl 
through the archives for both those lists and I'm sure you'll find 
material of help.
