    Postgres has enough features that I would guess you're not going to
find a database that uses all of them.

    You'll probably find it a lot easier to learn postgres by thinking of
something you want to do and trying to solve the problem with postgres.
  I find it really difficult to learn a new development tool without
having a particular problem to solve.
