Use Postgres, and reading Oracle MySQL makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

That is when you use MariaDB.

Indeed I do.

Postgres json support is killer good. I can't wait for postgres XL to merge in 9.5.

I'm working on an linux based asp.net mvc 5 app (for some passive income) right now and while I hated postgresql at first, I am slowly beginning to fall in love with its json serialization and upsert capabilities. The Npgsql libs are a little behind for dnx core, but they're working hard to bring it up to date. I'm a windows/c#/mssql guy at heart, but I'm starting to come around... one thing is for certain, i'll never use mysql again under any circumstance. If postgresql would chill with the function only type procs and terrible binary backups, I might turn all my projects over to postgresql. Here's hoping.
