Competly aside from the Article. The level of vitriolic discourse in this topic is astounding. I am amazed that as a community discussions of Database engines can draw out such mean spirited anger. I have never down voted as many comments on HN in a single thread then I have on this topic. I don't care which side of the debate you come down on. There is no excuse for belittleing and insulting others in a technical forum. Thats right I am looking at you

In this case it appears to mostly be those arguing for Postgre, but I wouldn't care if you were arguing for sunshine and unicorns there is a way to behave civilly and your not doing it.
You can find this level of discourse in plenty of topics every day. Programmers draw blood over indenting with tabs or spaces. It's geek entertainment.
I have never been upvoted so much on HN. I admit to strong opinions and light sarcasm but you'll have to show me where I've been uncivil, belittling or insulting, except perhaps in response to people who insulted me.

Curious. I have never found a database named "Postgre" to be used by anybody. Perhaps you can direct me to the download site.
I think the bigger issue is that there isn't a lot of discussion from the NoSQL crowd about what you give up when you go to a NoSQL solution. I think that sort of disclosure would help people weigh the options a lot better.
From the comments of some people here you'd almost think they would build an ERP app in Mongo....
