Postgres vs. the rest

Hello,

I am looking into PostgreSQL and am looking for general functional information, as well as comparisons to other DBMSes,
specificallySQL Server and MySQL. I'd be interested in any general info anybody has. It'd be even better if you were in
theSeattle area, so I could talk to someone locally. :) 

I'm curious in that some of the advocacy documents talk about PostgreSQL being 'object-relational'. What does this mean
exactly?

Also, are there any native .NET data providers available for PostgreSQL?

Thanks,
Derek Dexheimer
