PostgreSQL feels good.
Its feature set is insanely large! Just look at stuff like: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1986491/sql-split-string-by-space-into-table-in-postgresql/1993058\#1993058
Had a look at the source tree, and also felt good.
If <Oracle> is the <Microsoft> of database, Postgres is the <Linux>, and <MySQL> (or more precisely <MariaDB>) is the <FreeBSD> (i.e. the one that got delayed by legal issues). Except that their <software licenses> were accidentally swapped.
The only problem with Postgres is its name. PostgreSQL is so unpronounceable and so untypeable that you should just call it "Postgres" like everyone else.
