He directed no specific criticism toward any other DBMS.  In a way,
this is encouraging, as it's a kind of straw man attack, and it's
pretty obvious when people do these.  The thing we really have to
worry about is that there are people at Microsoft (SQL Server
division) and Oracle who know PostgreSQL quite well, are hostile to
it, and have large marketing budgets.
