Hey Redis folks, if you haven't played with http://radishapp.com/ yet I'd love to hear your feedback on it. Also, go Postgres! Woot!
I'd totally use an open source clone of that.
Agreed. Or at least a free version of it.

#35I'm surprised to see that Oracle even has as many mentions as it does, given how rarely you read about it here on HN. We're locked into it at my workplace, and every time I'm reminded of this PG quote I cringe a little: "The more of an IT flavor the job descriptions had, the less dangerous was the company. The safest kind were the ones that wanted Oracle experience. You never had to worry about those."
I was wondering the same thing. Our startup currently uses it when doing research on data sets, but it's a db I don't hear about very often when talking about startups. I'm assuming a big factor is price.
Yeah, Oracle is mostly used by bigger companies.

I suspect that it's the HNers still toiling away in large companies that are voting for Oracle. You'd probably see about as many votes for DB2 had it been an option.
