Kind of annoying that under "Related:" there aren't any PostgreSQL links though.

I think someone (Ned Lilly?) talked to him about it and he is going to
start mentioning PostgreSQL more.

If you read through to the bottom of the second page of the article and
follow the "continue" link, you'll find that he does mention PostgreSQL
and compares (rather favorably, IMHO) it to Access, MySQL, and Oracle.
He even indicates that he is going to be focusing on PostgreSQL in a
future article.

Unfortunately if you go to the full article list there are a bunch of
articles that focus on MySQL and none on PostgreSQL (at least according to
the subjects anyway).

Correct. Check the date on the article Bruce mentioned. The author
told me he had written a bunch of them and had them in the can for O'Reilly.

His article on functions (don't have the URL handy) really set me off,
since I think we shine there compared to the other guys. But he's very
interested in learning more about PostgreSQL, and I think we'll see more
from him before too long.
