Great database!
But I wish they would re-license it under the BSD or MIT license instead of using their vanity PostgreSQL license which is pretty much the same as the BSD and MIT licenses but with a different name.

I also wish they would clean up their userspace which is a bit messy with not all utilities prefixed with the pg or pg_ prefix. And create a single program to be the entry point of all functions just like Git does with the "git" command.

bug tracker is that way, code editor is this way.

MariaDB and CockroachDB have features some PostgreSQL users have wanted for a long long time.

MariaDB? It's fine, but Postgres has far more features and some are knockout punches. JSONB, Gin, better time and window functions, better types in a few places. Better performance.

I'm by no means a database expert but I thought that MariaDB, being a MySQL fork, is ideal as a website back-end but for any complex or intensive data processing you really want PostgreSQL.
