The more I read about pgsql, the more I wonder why I would want to switch to it...

Granted, mariadb has weird time things too... but thats the tip of the iceberg between autoincrement with vacuum, vacuum in general, and that thread from the other day about bad migrations/version upgrades...

postgres is sane and consistent. Some things could seem weird, but those usually track to SQL standards, which are weird and dated, but at least consistency is still there. On the other hand, I never can be sure where mysql/mariadb decided to improve my life.

Oh believe me, I dislike mariadb for other reasons, like the fact that it sucks at picking indexes for queries.
