I've never understood why the "MySQL" buzzzzzz everywhere. PostgreSQL has been a __real__ DBMS from its beginning. It had support for really huge tables and it has an ingenious way to work around the 2GB file size limit on the old file systems.
The replication is its weakest point (it was non-existent for a while). The commercial and free packages to bring replication to PostgreSQL were sometime good and others don't. Many projects started it but were down or dorman in a year or so. Hopefully new efforts will finally bring that feature with the same rock solid standing as the other PostgreSQL features.
Happy to see IBM around!
