Can anyone tell me what "postgres" is all about?  I know where and how to get
it, but to get it on my target machine will take a fair bit of effort.  Is it 
worth the effort?  Does it have an interactive interface for users and DBAs,
or is it strictly a "support library" around which code must be written?  How
are its relational capabilities?

Any commentary would be appreciated.
