I regularly hang out on a forum that advocates the use of PostgreSQL.
There was recently some chat about the barriers to uptake of
PostgreSQL:

Back in 2007, at Sun I hired an industry analyst to do research give me
a list of the 5 biggest items inhibiting PostgreSQL community growth and
large enterprise adoption. |
We are told that the industry analyst came up with the following list:

1. Easy [one-click] Install
2. Simple, low-overhead replication
3. Upgrade-in-place
4. Administration & monitoring
5. Driver quality/maintenance |
Note that this is an old list and that PostgreSQL has addressed some of
these issues.
I recently claimed that Ingres Database 10 is well ahead of the
customers' priorities, so it's interesting to know the development
priorities of other people working with other products.
