I wasn't spreading FUD about anything. From the article there was issues with every databases expected behaviour. My point again was that you should expect and manage failure in your application layer. It's what sensible architecture looks like.

And ACID does NOT guarentee that you will not lose data. It is a theory not an implementation. I have lost data with both Oracle and Teradata due to bugs.




Well, you said that Postgres had data consistency errors (referencing Aphyr articles). This is not true (at least regarding that article).

Aphyr article about Postgres could be renamed to call-me-maybe-acid-db-over-the-network and could remain the same.
