well said @pilif. I've been using PostgreSQL since the early 6.x days as the back end to web sites. As time went on, I developed an Accounting & ERP software suite in C++ with a thin wrapper around libpq. We've pretty much standardized on PostgreSQL for the things you just said: "friendly community, awesome documentation, awesome tools, and of course and awesome product...."

I literally have a multi-million dollar business & product because of it. And without it, we would be stuck with Oracle or MS-SQL.

And we just recently added full text search within our product using the PostgreSQL full text add-on. My customers absolutely love the feature and they love us because of this.

Another HUGE Thank you from me too.
