You misunderstand the results.
You misunderstand the results. PostgreSQL behaves as expected, and indeed, the only way it can behave. That's the Two General's Problem ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Generals%27_Problem ). There is no way to solve it. PostgreSQL does as well as theoretically possible. I understand you lost data with Oracle and Teradata. 1. Most big corporate vendors do not have systems which are very well designed. (1) The sale is made at a business level. (2) Most Oracle customers are not very tech companies, and have mixed quality employees. As a result, there is little pressure on building a robust, correct product, rather than one which meets a feature checklist. In addition, Oracle doesn't really recruit smart people (I know people who work there). It's just not very robust compared to something like PostgreSQL, which was written by Stonebraker, a legendary computer science professor and entrepreneur. 2. Still, more likely, the reason you lost data is because you didn't know what you were doing. Words like Eventual Consistency, ACID, Two-General's Problem, etc. are not just abstract. They have strict, formal meanings, and you need to understand what they do and do not guarantee. Otherwise, you will lose data again.
