Dispelling FUD: Five Things You Might Not Have Known About PostgreSQL

Whether you're considering PostgreSQL as an alternative SQL solution or want someone higher up in the command chain to consider it, this article could help: Five reasons why you should never use PostgreSQL -- ever.

Warning: ignore that title. The article is really about five of the top reasons that people think PostgreSQL isn't going to work for them, and how to answer those objections. The article's author, W. Jason Gilmore, handily dispels the fear, uncertainty and doubt associated with using PostgreSQL rather than some commercial product, but his answers to objections such as "it doesn't run on Windows", "there's no professional tools", and "there is no support" can just as easily be applied to any number of other open source software projects.
